Chapter 267: Fairness

"Unfair? Even if it's unfair, what can it be? In this world, Gao Lan is not the only one who has been treated unfairly. The man picked up his glass and took a sip of wine: "You want to know the truth, don't you?" Then follow me! ”

The man got up, picked up the sword that had been set aside, and left with a slight lameness.

"Yunfei, keep up with him."

"Who? Who to keep up with? Gu Yunfei was about to drink, and when he heard Yan Su's words, "Tingling" stood up.

"The man dressed in black and a little lame."

"What's wrong with him?" Gu Yunfei looked at Yan Su puzzled and asked.

"He is Gao Lan, the Gao Lan in the mouth of the county commander of Gaoyi County." Yan Suwen handed his hand to Gu Changfeng: "Hard-working husband, you can also go along." ”

"How does Madam know that he is Gao Lan?"

"Guess." Yan Suwen blinked: "Husband, Jun Ke still remembers that Yun Fei and Shen Jiu said a word when they came back from the town mayor's house. ”

"That sentence?"

The mayor's wife said that someone had gone to look for them, and had a rough description of what the man looked like. When I first saw the man, I thought he was similar to the man described by the mayor's wife, and he didn't pay attention to what the people around him were saying. In this world, there are no men and women who don't gossip, but women are shown outside, and men hide their gossip thoughts more inside. ”

"It's not gossip for a husband."

"For those things on the streets and alleys that women care about, a husband like the husband naturally does not gossip, but in cases like this, the husband will listen to it even if he is not curious. But that person didn't show interest from beginning to end. If a person doesn't even pay attention to the big cases around him, it can only explain two problems. The first is that he is the one who knows the inside story. Second, he is the one who committed the crime. Because I know, I am not curious, and I don't even bother to listen to these random speculations. ”

"Madame guessed that he was Gao Lan based on this?"

"I didn't guess it, I just thought he looked like that person, and then I went over and asked. He didn't deny it, which shows that he is indeed Gao Lan. Let's go, I don't know if Yunfei's unreliable follow-up is lost. ”

The group followed the mark left by Gu Yunfei, and finally stopped in front of a small courtyard in Gaoyi County. The courtyard is a very ordinary kind of small courtyard, the gate is ajar, and there is no lock on it.

"This is my home." The man's voice came from the courtyard.

"His name is Yunfei, and he is with us. I'm pregnant, and I'm not happy with my legs, and I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with you. Yan Suwen explained.

The man glanced at him and moved a stool out of the house: "There are still in the house, and whoever of you can sit on it will move it yourself." ”

After speaking, he put the stool he moved out in front of Yan Suwen. "Madame, please take a seat!"

"Thank you!" Yan Su asked Xie, "Is your injury the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”

"I learned the secret by accident. At that time, the flood had just passed, and there was a mess everywhere. This person is most afraid of being hungry, and once he starts to be hungry, many things will happen. They can grab and grab everywhere for a bite to eat. It was the busiest time I can remember.

At noon that day, I had just arrested a man who had accidentally injured someone for stealing food, put him in prison, and then went to find an adult. This is a murder, and it's not something I can do with a small catcher. When I entered, I saw the mayor of Wuliu Town and the shopkeeper of the Xinyue Inn, Zongli. To be honest, at that time, I didn't think much of it at all. It is only said that one criminal was arrested. He didn't ask in detail, but only said that I would go down first, and the culprit would be dealt with later, saying that he still had some more important things to deal with. I never question what adults say. As he had said, I withdrew from the drawing-room, reached out to cover the door, and prepared to leave. ”

"You didn't leave."

"I was leaving, but when I closed the door, I thought of another thing, and I urgently needed to let the adults make a decision. I didn't know if I should go in and disturb the adults again, so I stood at the door for a little longer. Then, I heard their conversation. They have been talking about disaster relief silver, and they have mentioned Guanyin Temple several times. I have been in the yamen for many years, so I naturally know what is hidden behind these words. I didn't dare to squeak, pressed my steps, and left with a particularly conflicted feeling.

Did you know? In my mind, my lord, he has always been a very good official, a clean official, and a good official who loves the people like a son. I don't believe it, and I find it hard to believe, that he would abandon the people of the city because of a hundred thousand taels of silver. Perhaps in order to confirm that what those people said was a lie, I took advantage of the night and secretly went to Guanyin Temple. Then, I really saw the relief silver that was hidden in the secret room. "361 Reading

"What did you do?"

"I've probably done the stupidest thing in the world. I ran back to the government overnight, went to the adult, and told him that I knew all about it, and I had seen all the relief money hidden in the Guanyin Temple. I told my lord that I knew that it was not his intention to be greedy for disaster relief money, and I advised him to return the money to the victims as soon as possible while no one had found out. My lord pretended to agree, and tricked me into going to Guanyin Temple, saying that I would see it with my own eyes, and let the people transport the silver to the official treasury of the government, and then distribute it according to the needs of the victims. I was stupid, I believed it, and as a result, I became what I am now. ”

Gao Lan looked at the very warm little courtyard in front of him.

"This yard was bought after marriage, and my wife is a very capable woman. The only bad thing is her body, she has a cough, the colder it gets, the worse the cough is. So, you see, my house is leeward. When I crawled out of the pile of dead people, the only thing I wanted to see was my lady. I don't know how I crawled home, but when I got home, I saw my mother's dead eyes. She was murdered, and I knew who the murderer was, but at that time, I had no ability to take revenge, and I didn't even dare to touch my wife, lest I leave my blood on her body and let our enemies know that I was still alive. Over the years, I have been like a demon crawling out of the underworld, carefully hiding myself, and then waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. ”

"The owner of the Xinyue Inn, Zongli, killed you?

"Yes."

"How did you kill him? And how did you put him in the ghost drum? ”

"Ghost drums? There are only ghosts in this world, and there will be any ghost drums. The so-called ghost drum is nothing more than a lie created by the mayor and Zongli. When I decided to get revenge, I decided to use this lie they had concocted. I spent most of my time working hard for more than half a year, but I learned to make drums from others. Because of the weakness of my hands and feet, I endured a lot of beatings and scolding. But I don't mind, because all I need is to learn how to make drums. I tricked Zongli out of the inn in the name of an adult, and it took almost no effort to put him in the dark. I wanted to suffocate him to death, but I didn't expect that he would be saved by mistake by your people. There is no way but to resort to my second option. People make mistakes, horses make mistakes, and if I want revenge, I can't just prepare for one thing. Luckily, I made it. ”

"Are you in the inn?"

"Yes, I'm in the inn, I've been in the inn all along." Gao Lan smiled: "Since the day I started to take revenge, I have lived in the Xinyue Inn. I'm not afraid that Zongli will recognize me, because I don't even recognize my current face. ”

"Where's the mayor? You killed it too? ”

"Yes, I killed it. The mayor of Wuliu Town, he is much worse than Zongli. Over the years, I have privately investigated a lot of things about him, and the blood on his hands alone is much more than you think. So, I decided to give him the best punishment possible. I'm pretty good at peeling, right? ”

Gao Lan looked at his hand.

"My grandfather was an Orion, and when I was young, my father and mother didn't care about me and sent me to my grandfather. Ever since I was a toddler, I have been running with my grandfather in the mountains. My grandfather taught me how to set a trap in the mountains, how to catch the animals in the trap in a cage, how to skin them, how to make them. At that time, I didn't think about being a fast catcher in the future, and I wanted to be a hunter like my grandfather. So, every step that a hunter should have, I learned very seriously. Peeling is what I do best, and even my grandfather will praise me. ”

"You killed Zongli and killed the mayor, so is the next one the county order of Gaoyi County? How are you going to kill him? ”

"Not intended, but he's dead." Gao Lan raised his head and looked at the sky: "If he hadn't died, do you think I would have brought you to my house, brought you to listen to these stories I told, and brought you to arrest me?" I used to be a catcher too, and I know what I'm doing and what my results will be. Don't bother with you, I'll solve my own affairs. Oh, by the way, my lord hid all the relief money in his shop. It was a pawnshop, opened under his false name, and I had placed everything about the pawnshop in the girl's room. I've done everything I can, and it's time for me to go to my wife. It's been so long, and I don't know if she's still by the bridge. ”

Gao Lan said, closing her eyes slightly.

"Shen Jiu." Yan Suwen, who realized that something was wrong, hurriedly called Shen Jiu's name.

"Dead." Shen Jiu checked it and told them: "If you take poison, you can't be helped." ”

"Miss, he said he hid things in my room, is it true what he said?" Youbai asked in a low voice: "How did he get into my room, I remember, I locked the door when I entered and exited the door." ”

"Don't be afraid, he didn't want to hurt you." Yan Suwen held Youbai's hand: "As for the thing he said, maybe there is, maybe not, let's go back and find out." ”

"Does the young lady think there is, or does she think there is no." Youbai asked.

"There should be, people are dying, and their words are good, so he won't deceive us."

"So is he a good guy or a bad guy?"

"Good guys? Villain! I don't know, maybe people can never be distinguished by simple good and bad. ”
