Chapter 407: The Folk Girl Was Wronged
"Miss, you see, it's not just on the table, it's here too. It looks like it's all been done in the past few days. I haven't had time to give it away yet. The steward took the frame next to him and stepped forward, Liu Tian took a look, there were bamboo dragonflies, wood carvings, all kinds of small things, but ......, "How do you know that he took it as a gift?" Maybe he likes it himself? ”
"A big man who would like this." The housekeeper smiled, and when he saw Liu Tian glaring at him, he immediately resumed his seriousness, "That...... Actually, it's not a guess, a few days ago I saw a nearby child playing with this, so I guessed like this. ”
"Kids in the neighborhood?" Liu Tian stood up, "Where did you meet you at that time, take me over to see." The steward nodded, and the two went to the back mountain together. The back mountain in winter is very desolate, the cold wind gusts, very eerie and terrifying, Liu heard that some of the victims went up the mountain to find a cave to keep warm, originally thought it was just hearsay, but I didn't expect it to be true.
The road on the mountain was not easy to walk, and I didn't go far after walking for a long time, and the steward pointed to the front and panted and said, "That's where I met those children before. Miss, we haven't seen a single figure after walking for so long, so they probably didn't come here today. Otherwise...... "It's too cold here, he can't stand it as a big man, and the young lady is thin, where can he stand such a cold." The steward suggested going back first, but Liu Tian insisted, "It's all here, let's go in and have a look." If she wasn't mistaken, those people should live around here.
Sure enough, it didn't take long to hear a voice not far away, carefully discern the direction, and finally found a cave among the weeds in front of me, "Is there anyone in there?" ”
The cave suddenly fell silent, Liu Qian glanced at the steward, and the steward stepped forward, "We are from the construction site at the foot of the mountain, my young lady has something to ask you, please come out." There was still no sound in the cave, Liu Tian put the food he brought on the ground, "I brought some food, not a lot, if it is ......" Before the words were finished, the victims in the cave ran out one by one, for fear that they would not be able to grab it if they were a second late.
The corners of Liu Tian's mouth twitched slightly, in fact, he was more surprised, he originally thought that such a small cave, at most five or six people, and more than a dozen people came out at once, which was indeed a little unexpected. "Have any of you ever seen the great pillar at the bottom of the mountain?"
A few people were silent, and a woman in the crowd glanced at Liu Tian, and then lowered her head again, Liu Tian saw this and stepped forward, "Do you know the big pillar?" The woman was silent. Liu Qian glanced at everyone, "You guys go back first, I have something to talk to him." ”
"This young lady, the grain you are talking about ......" Liu Tian gave the steward a look, and the steward began to distribute the grain to them. Liu Tian took the woman to the side, "Do you know the big pillar, what is your relationship?" ”
"Miss, don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with him." The woman shook her head in horror, and after speaking, she looked around again, as if she was afraid that others would know about the relationship between them, Liu Tian was a little displeased, and Da Zhuzi was afraid that it was because of him that she lost her life, but she didn't even have the courage to admit it, it was really annoying.
Although the woman was thin and weak, her improvement was very good, at least much better than that of those who had just come out, they hid in the mountains all day, and there was nothing on the mountains in winter, and they were afraid that they would not have a few full meals, but this woman was full of red face, and when she thought about the big pillar, the answer was clear at a glance.
"The big pillar died, and the doctor said he died of starvation." Liu Tian stared straight at the woman, and the woman quickly returned to normal after being surprised, "I only know him, I don't know him very well, and I'm sad that he died, but I don't understand why Miss came to me?" ”
"I'm not here for you, I'm here for the murderer of the Great Pillar. It was your strangeness that made me doubt you. Liu Qian glanced around and continued, "The pawn is the most diligent on the construction site, does the most, and gets the most food every day, but she starves to death, aren't you surprised?" Or do you know where all that food he eats goes? ”
"I don't know, don't talk nonsense." The woman still denied it, and Liu Tian lost her patience, "Why, now it's only the two of us here, don't you dare to tell the truth, do you know that it was because of you that the big pillar died, don't you have a little guilt and self-blame?" Don't be in a hurry to deny it, what the truth is, you know it and I know it, you can deny it, I still have the ability to find evidence, but everyone knows about it at that time, and the truth you want to cover up will not be able to hide it. ”
Liu Tian turned around to leave, the woman was frightened, and quickly stepped forward and pulled Liu Tian's sleeve, "Don't, please, it's not that I don't want to admit it, I ...... I have a husband, my husband offended Miss and was arrested in prison, and I was also desperate, so I seduced the big pillar, but I really didn't expect him to be so honest that he gave us all the food, but he starved to death, I didn't mean to ......"
It turned out to be the case, Liu Qian glanced at the woman on the ground with disgust, "It's just that you didn't think of it, but he lost his life, you don't want to die, you want to live well, the victims from the border pass, how much don't you think so, you see how they do it, why can you get it for nothing, and take the lives of others?" ”
"It's not me, I didn't kill anyone, I didn't expect things to turn out like this." The woman was also frightened, and kept repeating the sentence, Liu Tian didn't want to pay any more attention to him and turned away, and the steward saw her coming, and followed him down the mountain. Liu Tian's face was not good, she didn't say anything, and she didn't ask about the housekeeper, and when she returned to justice, Liu Tian was locked in the house alone for I don't know how long, and the housekeeper came in and said that Lin Feng was here.
What is he doing here? It seems that she can meet him everywhere she goes these days, whether it is deliberate or by chance. stood up and was about to go out, the housekeeper came to report again, and Wang Xuxian also came over. Liu Qian nodded and went to the front with the steward, the two stood together but ignored each other, Wang Xuxian saw him, trotted forward with a worried face, "Are you okay, the news of the dead people at the construction site has spread outside, and there is also a doctor who accused you of abusing the victims and starving them to death." Someone from the government has arrived. ”
Liu Tian looked to the side, and sure enough, he saw a few officials standing behind Lin Feng, it turned out that she was not here to care about her, but to arrest her.
"I know, I've already found out about this matter, don't worry." Smiled with Wang Xuxian, turned around and came to Lin Feng, "When did Lord Hou start helping the government do things?"
"I'm on duty in the yamen now, and today's matter ......" Lin Feng wanted to tell her not to be afraid, he would protect her, but Liu Tian directly planned him, "I have already found the reason for today's matter." The reason why Dazhu was starved to death was because he told others that his food was given to others, and I found that person. If the government wants to find someone, go to the back mountain. ”
"Tilt, even so, you still have to go to the government with us." Lin Feng stepped forward, "This matter is too big, and the identity of the victims is special, you have to go, but you don't have to worry, with me, you will be fine." Liu Tian understood, nodded and prepared to respond, Wang Xuxian rushed forward angrily and pulled her aside, "Didn't you hear, she is innocent, since you know, why do you want him to go over, did you mean it." ”
Lin Feng was silent, and Liu Qian pulled Wang Xuxian aside, "Okay, you wait here, I'll go back when I go." ”
"I'll go with you." Wang Xuxian grabbed his sleeve, couldn't refuse, and strode forward, Liu Tian was helpless, so he could only let him. On the way, Lin Feng hesitated and spoke repeatedly, "I heard that the construction site has not been very peaceful recently, do you need help?" ”
"Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness, no need, I can solve these things by myself." Liu Tian looked out the window, the suburbs of the city were not as desolate as the east of the city, they were very desolate all the way, there was not even a figure, in the carriage, he was angry and depressed, Liu Tian tried his best to ignore these, Lin Feng looked at him and was silent. I don't know how long it took, Lin Feng suddenly spoke, "You don't have to worry about the affairs of the British King, I will find a way to solve it." ”
"Good. I heard that you have also helped many victims solve the problem of food and shelter in the past few days, and Hou Ye does not seem to be as unkind as he shows on weekdays. ”
"In your eyes, I'm such a person?" Lin Feng smiled bitterly. The carriage came to the gate of the yamen, and several people got out of the carriage. Wang Xuxian didn't want Liu Tian and Lin Feng to have more contact, so he stepped forward and stood between the two, "Qian'er, don't worry, I will protect you." ”
"I'm not worried, and you don't need to worry." I thought it was just a simple question, but I didn't expect the King of England to come. Suddenly thinking of Lin Feng's words, it instantly became clear. The King of England sat on the throne, holding a teacup and tasting tea, and when he saw them come in, he put down the teacup.
"Miss Liu, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. Today you should know why I came to you. The king smiled and glanced at the fold on the table, "The emperor is very concerned about the situation of the victims, I heard that someone starved to death at Miss Liu's construction site today, the emperor was very angry when he learned about this, and ordered the king to find out the ins and outs of the matter, and if he offended him a lot, please Miss Liu not to blame." The emperor's order is hard to disobey. ”
"What the prince said is that the people understand it." Liu Tian stood aside, and the King of England squinted at her, thinking of the next thing and didn't care about her unruly things, "Then you can tell me what the hell is going on." Did the big pillar really starve to death? Are you really abusing the victims? ”
"The people are wronged. The Minnu helped the victims to solve the problem of food and shelter, they worked at the Minnu's construction site, and the Minnu provided food and shelter, and they always did what they said, and tried their best to fill their stomachs, as for the matter of the big pillar, it was purely accidental, he was starved to death because he gave the food he got to others......"
"But how did the king hear that the great pillar was killed by you? Miss Liu, this is the Yamen, do you know what the consequences of lying will be? ”
