Chapter 156: The Murderer (3)
Feng Changqi stood aside, and the shopkeeper kept his head down, as if he had done something wrong.
"Shopkeeper, let's talk." Feng Changqi handed over a cup of tea.
His kind gesture frightened the shopkeeper, and he thought that there was something mixed in the tea. "My lord, I really don't know anything. I don't know if those girls are in my shop like this, I really don't know anything, I've said it several times. ”
"I didn't say what you did, don't be nervous."
The shopkeeper swallowed, "Oh, oh, oh, my lord, I'll tell you, I just see that the grain is not quite right, do you say that he hid someone in my store and then deliberately framed me?" ”
"Who is Millet?" Feng Changqi asked.
"Oh, that millet is the head chef of my shop, he was fine some time ago, nothing happened. But, he doesn't know what's going on lately, and he sneaks out by himself every time he's working, and he doesn't know why he's going. The shopkeeper's eyes widened, and he spoke quieter and quieter.
"My lord, let me tell you, I once saw him still holding a knife when he came back, what did you say he was doing when he went out with a knife?"
Feng Changqi was thoughtful and did not answer the shopkeeper's words.
Hu Xiao on the other side looked at the little second and always felt that something was wrong.
"My lord, can you put the little one away? I've said all the little things that need to be said. Xiao Er said that he was in a hurry to go back.
Before Hu Xiao could say anything, a guard with a lot of things walked in outside, "My lord, these are all found in the store." He also proposed to put one or two of the clothes on the top, and whispered in Hu Xiao's ear, "My lord, one of them was bitten by the wolf, and there is a gap on it that just matches the one given by Jin Yanzuo." ”
Hu Xiao raised his eyebrows, is there such a coincidence? told the guard to retreat, and put a lot of things in front of Xiao Er, "Take a look, see if there are any things for you and the shopkeeper." ”
Xiao Er was stunned, "What do you mean, adult?" ”
"It's not interesting, it's just something you find in your store for you to recognize. After you read it, you have to show it to your shopkeeper, so you'd better be optimistic, if it's not the same as the shopkeeper's words, do you know the end? Hu Xiao casually touched the knife on the side.
"Yes, yes, yes." Xiao Er was just about to take the pile of things when he was stopped by Hu Xiao, "Passive, I'll unfold it for you to make you smiling." ”
"Okay, thank you very much, then."
Xiao Er looked at everything and didn't dare to say that it was fake, "My lord, I've seen it all, except for the gray clothes that are mine, everything else is the shopkeeper's." ”
The corners of Hu Xiao's mouth rose unconsciously, and the bottom of his eyes sank as if the hopeless swamp man couldn't get out once he stepped in, "Boy, can you see it clearly, this gray dress is really yours?" ”
"Yes, it's small, if you can't do it, you can ask the shopkeeper. This is still made by the shopkeeper for the little one, he must remember. Xiao Er said conclusively, how could he be wrong about his things.
"Okay, come on, call me!" Hu Xiao shouted, followed by a scream, which startled the shopkeeper who was questioning on the side.
"Big ...... My lord, this ......" The shopkeeper was stunned, if he was right, it was Xiao Er's voice.
Feng Changqi also got the news better, "Okay, you can go." ”
Xiao Er was stunned by this, "My lord, how can you act like this?" What did the little one do? ”
Hu Xiao sat on a chair and leaned his feet on the table, "According to the laws of Dongyong, anyone who intentionally or intentionally kills innocent people is punishable by death. Boy, you've killed four of them at once, and you've ruined one. That's not enough to cut four or five lives. ”
"Your Excellency...... What did you say, my lord, but I don't know anything about it. Xiao Er panicked, his hands kept moving.
"I don't know? That Lord Ben has come to you many times, and you said that this is your clothes, right? ”
Xiao Er nodded like pounding garlic, "Yes, this is indeed a small one, the little one didn't lie." ”
"Yes, I didn't say you lied, it was this dress that betrayed you. Haven't you noticed that a handful of this garment is missing? Hu Xiao threw his clothes in front of Xiao Er and asked him to see for himself. And then, we found this handful of fabric in the hands of one of the women, and you say it's a coincidence. ”
Xiao Er was silent and didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he actually laughed, and his laughter made many people feel cold in their backs, "I didn't expect you to find out because of a small thing, yes, it's the person I killed, how about I'm very powerful?" ”
Hu Xiao got up and smashed the teacup in his hand directly at Xiao Er in a fit of anger, "You can't die well!" With so many lives, what should you do as a turnip? Have you ever wondered what will happen to their families if you kill them? ”
Xiao Er laughed louder and louder, and more and more poignant, "How? What else could it be? Aren't they rich, then let them spend money to marry a few more concubines and have a few more. What's there? Do you know how cheap those women were before they died? ”
Hu Xiao did not answer.
"They said they could give me a lot of money, how could I kill them because of the money. They also said they could marry me, do you think they are stupid? There was even a woman who said that what could make me happy was not to kill her. What am I killing for? For liberation! ”
"This world doesn't belong to me! They don't understand me, and the shopkeeper also understands me, I do so much work every day, I don't add money to me, not to mention that I repeatedly indulge Guzi. What does that kid have? He's nothing! ”
The man in front of him who fell into madness couldn't help but feel funny. This world does not belong to everyone, everyone is just a passerby, and it is time to leave once you have been here. And what does not belong to?
In the end, the shopkeeper and the grain were released, and the girls who were caught were not in danger of life, except for the girl who was defiled a little pity.
As soon as the news that Xiao Er was the murderer came out, the streets and alleys were shocked, who would have thought that Xiao Er, who usually looks like no one, would have such evil thoughts.
Many people are beginning to be frightened and have less trust in the people on the side. The human heart is separated from the belly, who knows what the heart is like inside.
“…… Niangniang, this matter has come to an end now, and the shopkeeper has also been detained by Dali Temple. The relatives of the girls also gave them the money. Hu Xiao stood in the lobby and explained his findings to Feng Qing and the civil and military officials.
Feng Qing nodded, this matter was finally resolved, but it was really a little startled to say it. still responded to that sentence: people's hearts are unpredictable.
"Okay, this matter Dali Temple and the Criminal Department have meritorious, reward!"
At night, Feng Qing leaned on the window and looked outside, today's night sky is a starry sky and a bright moon. There has been no news from Ye Weishao so far, but there are military reports that the battle has been won.
I don't know when people will come back or when they will be peaceful.
