Chapter 45: The Chess Piece

Therefore, it was the group of officers and soldiers who were plotting something here, and they were inadvertently heard by Chen Da and a few others, so they wanted to kill people and kill them!

"Is the woman they held hostage the same girl who was abused by the Fang family's son that night?" I already have a guess in my mind, but I want to make sure.

Wiping away a few tears, the beggar nodded like garlic, calmed down and continued to say to me: "They searched a few houses nearby, and they gave up when they didn't have anything. I thought they would leave soon, but they hid in the alley and didn't leave until midnight......"

"I didn't dare to act without permission, I was stunned and hid in fear in that broken tank for a long time, and then ...... I vaguely saw a few young men coming from there, and then ...... The little girl was pushed out of the alley...... "Pulling her fist, the beggar's eyes widened in horror, and his emotions began to fluctuate again, and his words were fragmented and indistinct.

"That girl...... In that small courtyard, she screamed very badly, but the group of officers and soldiers were guarding outside, and I didn't dare to go out...... Later, more officers and soldiers came, and they carried away several corpses and captured one man......"

"Then do you see the appearance of the man who led the troops to capture them?"

"No...... The night was too dark, and there were too many people, I couldn't see clearly......" With his hands buried in his knees, the beggar trembled, whimpering and no longer speaking.

Although he was scared and his words were vague, his thoughts were relatively clear, and I probably knew the whole story.

It turned out that everything was colluded by people, including the victim woman! To put it bluntly, everyone in the whole thing was calculated, and the people who planned it ...... It is likely that the flower is the inkstone!

I'm almost sure it's him, but what about the proof!

Squatting down, I tried my best to lower my voice, slow down my tone, and finally squatted in the corner of the beggar: "The leader of the officers and soldiers who coerced that girl at the beginning, what does he look like, do you know?" ”

"It was so dark...... I just remember him with a beard, and I really didn't see the rest clearly......"

The beggar seemed to be frightened by the circumstances of that day, and he was sometimes calm and sometimes panicked, lest he was not mad.

It seems that I can't push him too hard, and if I keep asking him and asking him to remember the scene of that day, I'm afraid it will make him even more crazy. After all, he is also a poor man, so why should I embarrass him.

After being silent for a long time, I took out a silver ingot from my bosom and handed it to him, saying, "I see that you people are having a hard time here, especially women and children, you can take this money, buy some food for everyone to make up for it, and I will come to see you again in two days." ”

I just wanted to see if he would think of something in two days, and that he would be rewarded when he came back.

Trembling as he took the silver, the beggar looked up at me, his cloudy eyes full of gratitude under his messy and greasy hair.

I couldn't see this kind of gaze the most, so I casually told me a few words, and I left there.

I didn't think anything I would gain before I came here, but now it seems that it is far from that simple.

The son of the Fang family is certainly a beast, but the person who designed this poisonous plan is even more hateful, whether it is a long time to think, or a flower is an inkstone! Or was it a complicity between the two of them?

Is their purpose to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion?

When I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I informed Shi Mo and Chu Yu of this matter as soon as possible, and their demeanor after hearing about this can be imagined.

This is a huge conspiracy, but the mastermind could not have imagined that all this was actually seen by a beggar.

"It seems that our guess is correct." Shi Mo seems to have had this guess with Chu Yu for a long time, and after hearing my account, they are even more sure.

"After thinking about it for a long time, his father is old and frail, and he can't wait to take the throne." Chu Yu landed the sunspot in his hand on the chessboard, he squinted his eyes slightly, and looked like he was holding the victory.

In Nanliang, the father is an official, and if the son is virtuous, he can inherit his father's business after his father retires from the official position.

"But the rest of the matter was not involved in the matter, and we have no evidence to prove that this matter is related to him." I voiced my concerns.

He just invited someone to drink some wine, accidentally drank a few more glasses, and then on the way home he left early, and he didn't expect such a thing to happen later.

In other words, we have no direct evidence that if we ignore him, we will be bitten back by him.

"That's why we're pulling out his tail." twitching the corners of his mouth, Chu Yu sneered, his tone was neither light nor heavy, but it made people's backs chill when they heard it.

What you mean by ...... "I don't understand."

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Chu Yu raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and said quietly: "How cunning can a fox who can be used as a pawn be......"

As soon as the words turned, a few traces of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and his voice sank, and he said word by word: "Since there are such big loopholes left, there must be other clues to find out!" ”

He squinted, and the aura of danger spread in the empty bamboo hut in an instant.
