In the face of Ye Jingjing's repeated questions, the housekeeper didn't even have the mind to make it up, just scratched his ears and cheeks and thought about how to quibble.

Ye Jingjing sneered, "I can't think of how to continue to lie, right?" Okay, then I'll tell you for you. You destroyed the bridge from the beginning, and you knew very well that a nail would be enough to collapse the bridge without anyone finding out, so you painstakingly devised this method.

"This method is really meticulous enough, after the bridge collapsed, because it was all cracks, so no one would find out, it was someone who did something to make the bridge break, and we all thought that there was an unnatural force at work.

"In this way, you can unite with the bridge keeper and push the cause of the bridge collapse to the 'dragon king' in the river. Of course, you can't just spread rumors, so it's only fitting that the mysterious bridge keeper can show the dragon king eating fish. ”

Shen Ping was surprised, "Does this still have anything to do with that bridge keeper?" ”

"yes, if you think about it, where did the rumors come from? Isn't it from the bridge keepers? These two men knew that there was something strange in the river, so they pretended to be in the name of the dragon king, saying that you had angered the dragon king by building the bridge, and you would be punished by heaven. ”

"So, what the hell is this strange thing?"

Emperor Qianling also interjected and asked, "Jing'er, you have been hiding it, now you should tell us, right?" ”

Ye Jingjing didn't speak, just waved her hand and motioned for Zhaoyu to bring something.

Zhaoyu hurriedly brought the fishing rod prepared in advance, Ye Jingjing came to the river with the lantern and sat down, and put down the black cloth on the lantern, and was suddenly shrouded in darkness.

The butler then realized why they had appeared behind him unconsciously, because they had covered the lantern with a black cloth and pushed it up when necessary, so that they could hide their tracks.

Ye Jingjing threw the fishing rod in, and soon felt something pulling the fishing line.

She hurriedly lifted the fishing rod, and everyone saw the shadow of a fish jumping out of the water with the fishing line.

Ye Jingjing put the fish on the lawn, motioned to Emperor Qianling to light herself, picked up a stone from the ground, put it in the fish's mouth, and then carefully picked up the fish to show everyone.

By the light of the candle flame, everyone could see that the fish had a row of sharp teeth in its mouth, and if it were not blocked by stones, it would have been easy for it to bite off a person's fingers.

Shen Ping was taken aback, "And such monsters?" ”

"This kind of thing is called piranha, and you have also seen it, because of its sharp teeth, this fish can easily eat meat, even people can gnaw it clean, let alone eat small fish and suckling pigs."

Ye Jingjing said as she carefully put the fish on the ground, and deliberately stayed away from everyone, so as not to be accidentally injured by the fish.

"But how could there be such a thing in the river?" Shen Ping asked in surprise. "I've never heard of it before, and the local fishermen haven't seen it."

"Of course, it is impossible for Taiping County to produce piranhas, this is an alien species."

Ye Jingjing said it seriously, and felt that the other party might not understand, so she had to explain, "I checked the file before and found that a foreigner had traveled in Taiping County before.

"It just so happened that those foreigners were also related to aquatic products, and their carriage overturned, and they fell into the river with their horses. Although they were later rescued, the live fish in the carriage were left in Taiping County.

"And this fish happened to be left over from that time. Coincidentally, it was written in the file that it was Lord Shen's housekeeper who went to negotiate and communicate with the foreigners at that time, so he knew about the existence of this fish, but at that time, it is estimated that he did not take it to heart. ”

When she mentioned this, Ye Jingjing felt very emotional, as if it was fate.

I found a record of piranha in the file, and thanks to the fact that she was a person who had crossed over, she recognized it as a piranha at a glance, and then she understood why the suckling pig and the fish were eaten so quickly.

In this way, all doubts are solved, and the rumors of the "Dragon King" are self-defeating.

Ye Jingjing continued, "Because he is a housekeeper, there is nothing suspicious about appearing by the river, everyone will only think that he is ordered to investigate." Even if not, if Lord Shen's housekeeper came to the bridge to take a look, would anyone treat him as a suspicious person?

The identity of the housekeeper gave him the convenience of free access, and it was precisely because of this identity that he could come back openly and pick up this suspicious nail every time he succeeded.

"I suppose you're a special piece of gold, mixed with some different kind of metal, so that it can easily destroy a bridge. But because of this, this nail must be taken away, otherwise you are afraid that this will become evidence and let Lord Shen discover your true colors.

"Coincidentally, you didn't find the nail last time, because a kid saw your sneaky figure and saw the nail, and he thought it was a treasure, so he took the nail before you."

As she spoke, Ye Jingjing took out the nail she had exchanged from the child's hand from her pocket and showed it to the housekeeper.

The housekeeper was taken aback, "Y-How can you have this ......?"

"I got it from that kid." Ye Jingjing said. "It was that kid who identified you, otherwise, I really can't think of someone who destroyed the bridge repeatedly."

Emperor Qianling nodded and said, "In this way, he has been patrolling the river before, just to find his own nails; And in order not to make people suspicious of him, so every time he inserted the nail, he would go home and rest, pretending that it had nothing to do with him. ”

He glanced back at the catchers who were guarding here before and asked, "I'm afraid that if he comes today, you will only treat him as if he is here to investigate, and let him in directly, right?" ”

Catch Kuai was a little embarrassed, "Well, although the adults said that outsiders can't be allowed in, but we think that the housekeeper is not an outsider, so we ......"

Shen Ping waved his hand, "It's okay, it's not your fault." ”

Tiredness and disappointment appeared on his face, and he looked at the butler with complicated eyes, "...... It's you. ”

The butler bowed his head and did not speak.

Ye Jingjing said softly, "Lord Shen, do you want to say that for the sake of him not harming others, and for the sake of him taking care of you for so many years, let him go?" ”

Shen Ping was stunned for a moment, and after hesitating for a while, he nodded, "His nature is not bad, I hope a few adults can let him go." ”

"Then what if I say that this person not only killed Huang Shulang, but also tried to kill you?" Ye Jingjing's words were amazing.

Shen Ping was taken aback, "Huang Shulang was killed by him?!" ”

"He's damned." The butler suddenly spoke. "No, it's not just him, you deserve to die too!"
