Chapter 45: Anger (2)

After Zhan Xue left, Lizi followed Bai Haohong into the study and asked, "Brother Bai, didn't you say that Lord Yu of Dali Temple was selfless and not afraid of Master Xiang?" Why does Lord Yu think that he is not the champion of Xiang Gan's killing? ”

Bai Haohong sat down, took a sip of the tea prepared by Lizi, and then said: "Zhang Yuanwai's family was killed, and no one can prove that Xiang Gan was not at Zhang Yuanwai's house on the night of the crime. And Zhang Yuanwai's cook came out to testify, saying that Xiang Gan was at Zhang Yuanwai's house that night. Therefore, Xiang Gan did not have the time to commit the crime, and he had an alibi. ”

Liz asked, "Is the cook telling the truth?" ”

"The cook was found by an old thief to testify, and of course what he said is not credible! However, what he said had a nose and eyes could not prove to be false. ”

"Didn't Lord Yu ask the other servants of Zhang Yuanwai's family?"

After asking several questions, they all confirmed: On the night of the crime, Zhang Yuanwai's house did have a visitor, but I don't know who the guest was. There is also a possibility that the guest is Xiang Gan, and besides, Xiang Gan was on the run at the time, and it is indeed unlikely that he was ordered to kill the champion. So I thought: Could it be that Taishi Xiang sent someone else to commit the crime? ”

Liz nodded and said, "Big Brother Bai's reasoning is very reasonable!" Because after the death of the champion, Xiang Taishi is the biggest beneficiary. Will the case of the champion and the murder of Zhang Yuanwai's family be re-investigated? ”

"Definitely!"

"Then don't be angry, when you re-investigate, you will definitely find evidence of the old thief." Lizi then persuaded: "Brother Bai, you are still lucky, in the future dynasties, there will be many traitors who are worse than Master Xiang, and Master Xiang is nothing compared to them. Today's emperor is known as Song Renzong in history, he is benevolent by nature, knows people and makes good use of them, and during his reign, there are many famous ministers, the country is stable and peaceful, and the economy is prosperous. ”

Seeing Bai Haohong's smile on his face, Lizi said again: "By the way, Brother Bai, there is one more thing I want to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Sometimes Big Brother Bai goes out at night and comes back very late, where did he go?" Lizzy asked in a mysterious whisper.

"How do you know?" Bai Haohong asked with some surprise.

"I sometimes think about things on my mind, and I can't sleep in bed, I hear."

"Can you hear my footsteps?"

"I didn't hear Brother Bai's footsteps at all, but Brother Bai had to take a bath when he came back late, and I heard Bai Cheng's voice. Have you taken advantage of the darkness to rob the rich and give to the poor? Or did you go on a date at night? When Liz talks about "dating someone", she is a little sour.

When Bai Haohong heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Your imagination is really rich! If you don't, you're guessing. I went to Xiang's house to see if I could find some clues. ”

"Big Brother Bai, every time you go, what is Master Xiang doing? Are you drinking with your little wife? ”

Bai Haohong shook his head.

Liz asked again, "Wouldn't it be looking at jewelry and counting silver taels at home?" ”

Bai Haohong was amused by Liz's words, and replied: "Are you Yiming when you are an old thief?" ”

"So what the hell is he doing?"

"Why do you care so much?"

"I don't want to know about Master Xiang's life and gain a long insight. Don't sell it, just say it. Liz urged.

"Every time I go, Xiang Lao Thief is reading in the study."

"Really? What a surprise! ”

"Do you think that traitors are fools who only know how to covet pleasure every day?! People who are not cunning, they will be caught in the first time they play adultery, and they will not be able to climb to such a high position at all, and besides, the emperor is very knowledgeable, and he has no real talent and learning, how can he get mixed up? ”

"I thought that Xiang Lao Thief spends all day drinking, but I didn't expect him to study when he has time, so hard! It's no wonder that His Majesty is so inquisitive, it is difficult to make up for it. ”

Bai Haohong said again: "I plan to go to the Taishi Mansion again tonight. Xiang Lao Thief must be proud of his victory this time, and maybe he can find some useful information for us. ”

Besides, Zhan Xue came to the victim Qi Damao's house and persuaded Qi Damao to sue Xiang Gan, saying: "Did you just let Xiang Gan beat him for nothing?" If you don't sue him this time, in the future, Xiang Gan will come to beat you again! Lord Yu is in charge of you, don't worry about Master Xiang's revenge! ”

Qi Damao lowered his head and whispered: "I need a lot of money for treatment, let Xiang Gan compensate, he can't compensate, at most just lock up Xiang Gan, and I also need money to marry my daughter-in-law." Master Xiang sent someone to send us a lot of money, which we couldn't earn in our lifetime. ”

"How much? I'll give it to you. ”

"A thousand!" Xiang Gan's voice came from outside the door, he walked in the door, and said to Zhan Xue: "Zhan Xue, can you afford it?" ”

Zhan Xue wanted to beat Xiang Gan, but in Qi Damao's house, she had to hold back her anger and say, "Xiang Gan, be honest!" Otherwise, you're welcome! After speaking, he walked out of Qi's house angrily.

Xiang Gan saw Zhan Xue leaving, and yelled at Da Mao viciously: "You kid has made a windfall by relying on me!" In order to maintain the reputation of the Xiang family, and because there are opponents who pick on his thorns and find fault with him, he promised to give as much as you want. You kid is really a lion's mouth, and he asked for a thousand! Do you deserve so much? Give me nine hundred and eighty as soon as possible. ”

Qi Damao boldly said, "Aren't you afraid that I will sue you again from Lord Yu?" ”

"Sue me?! First of all, we must punish you for taking bribes! You have already recorded a confession in the Yamen, and now you want to retract your confession, and you will be punished for perjury! Now, with such a poor body, I don't think you can survive after a few boards. ”

Qi Damao said timidly: "However, I used a lot of money to treat my injuries, how can I have so much money for you?" ”

"Then I don't care! You prepare it for me, and I will come and get it tonight! Otherwise, my grandfather will let your whole family not survive tomorrow! After speaking, Xiang Gan turned around to leave, and suddenly saw Zhan Xue standing behind him, and he was startled.

Zhan Xue glared at Xiang Gan angrily and scolded: "What a bold dog minion! I'm not going to make you live tonight now! ”

When Xiang Gan heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and said, "The female catcher spares her life!" The female catcher spares her life! I am old and young, so you can have pity on me, a miserable man. ”

Zhan Xue was a little shaken, not knowing what to do with Xiang Gan, and when he was hesitating, Xiang Gan suddenly stood up, his face changed, and he said coldly: "Do you want me to kowtow like this and spare my life?" I'm from the Taishifu, and you don't look in the mirror to see if you're qualified! After saying that, he walked away.

Zhan Xue pulled out her waist knife and was about to chase Xiang Gan, but was caught by Qi Damao, Qi Damao said cowardly: "Female head catcher, Xiang Gan just left from my house, if you kill him at this time, I will also be involved, and I can't get out of it!" ”

Zhan Xue didn't say anything, shook off Qi Damao, and was about to pull out her legs to chase Xiang Gan, but Qi Damao knelt down, hugged her calves, and cried and begged: "Female catcher, you can do well!" I am old and young, so you can have pity on me, a miserable man. Qi Damao's tone was exactly the same as Xiang Gan's, Zhan Xue was angry and sad when she heard it, but she couldn't move, she was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, she could only stomp her feet and leave the Qi family hatefully.
