Chapter 140: It's a Certainty
At this moment, almost everyone emotionally sided with Cheng Ziyu, and began to scold Gao Xi while comforting her.
Someone also took off his shoes and threw them directly at Gao Xi.
When this head was together, many people followed. For a while, the blackened wooden strips all over the ground flew towards Gao Xi......
Gao Xi curled up and rolled around on the ground.
He was bitter, and he still didn't understand why he seemed to be going straight to hell when he woke up. The pain of the body is small, but the loss of the treasury is even more heart-wrenching! And the accusations that appeared in his ears at the moment made him even more foggy and unable to accept them.
He almost thought that he had been calculated by Cheng Ziyu.
But even his henchmen identified the arrogant man in black, and everyone's words were one-sided, so that he had to put away his suspicions about Cheng Ziyu.
And just now the hatred in Cheng Ziyu's eyes and the hatred in his fists and feet, he also saw it.
That's true! It's a pain that I can't wait to tear his body to pieces! If she hadn't really suffered a heavy loss, how could she be so disrespectful of her image?
Gao Xi was completely led into the ditch...... He thought he understood: this is the praying mantis catching the cicada and the yellow finch behind, this is someone who borrowed his hand to steal Cheng Ziyu, and then blamed him!
But who is this man? Who is so difficult to get along with the Gao family and the Cheng family?
So, very sadly, these doubts started from this moment until Gao Xi's head landed, and he and the Gao family could no longer solve them......
And at this moment, seeing the people's anger rising, Wanzhi County's face collapsed. The pressure on his shoulders and head seemed to be heavier......
In the painting boat not far away, the "drunk" Li Chun has woken up, and he is standing at the bow of the boat at the moment and staring here. His face became more and more heavy, and his heart was a little stuffy. It is said that the Gao family did not succeed, her goal has been achieved, but why does her every move still bring so much resentment? This kind of hatred that pervades her can even be felt by him!
What is the reason?
Is she too stressed? Or has it been through something?
Li Chun dragged his fist to death, Gao Xi, he was dead! The Gao family will also cease to exist! ……
Cheng Ziyu, who was on the verge of "collapse", was naturally no longer suitable for staying on the ship.
After deliberation, the officers and soldiers decided to arrange for her to rest at the post station.
But Cheng Ziyu insisted that the man in black had not been caught yet, and she was afraid of being killed, so she resolutely did not go to the post station.
Na Wanzhi County thought about it and reasoned, so in order to avoid extraneous branches, he arranged for her to go to the wharf yamen to rest.
Compared with the post station or inn, although the wharf yamen is a little noisy, it is relatively safe at the moment. In addition, he arranged a team of officers and soldiers to escort Cheng Ziyu.
After sending someone to Li Chun's painting boat to bring it into the painting, Cheng Ziyu and the others moved the place.
The wharf yamen is different from the general yamen, in addition to handling the affairs of the wharf on weekdays, it also provides accommodation. It is not only for the convenience of the people and business, but also for the increase of income for the local yamen.
Because it is close to the wharf, it is convenient for merchants to go up and down and relatively safe, and it is convenient to have a good relationship with the local yamen, so there are not many guests in the rooms of the wharf yamen. And because they often have to receive distinguished guests and officials who come and go along the river, the facilities are not worse than ordinary inns.
Cheng Ziyu asked for a guest room with the highest location in the Linjiang Guest Building.
She was robbed in Jiujiang, and the Jiujiang Yamen was afraid that the gaffe would make further trouble, so they naturally responded to her needs and were very diligent. From the futon curtain to the copper basin cup, all of them were replaced with brand new ones.
In just a quarter of an hour, five dishes and one soup were already on the table, and even the hot water for bathing had been prepared for her......
The other party was respectful, and she stayed unceremoniously.
When you open the window, there is a cool river breeze, and the biggest advantage here is that you can see the situation of the river at a glance, which is more convenient for her to inquire about the news.
At this moment, Gao Xi's ship fire has been completely extinguished and is docking to the dock.
Gui'er and Fu's mother went on and off the boat to get clothes and supplies for Cheng Ziyu to bring back the progress of the case one by one......
The time was approaching, but because of the seriousness of the matter, all the officers and men did not dare to slack off.
According to the information brought back, at this moment, almost all the officers and soldiers have gathered on the big ship and began to investigate little by little. Surrounding vessels were also restricted, and they were asked to cooperate with the collection of evidence.
From the wharf yamen to the government office, officials of several yamen and large and small have met several times at the observation deck of the Gaoxi big ship.
I also know that I can't find the man in black at this moment, for the sake of their jobs, no matter what goes through this matter, the best way is to bear all the blame by Gao Xi!
Anyway, Gao Xi's selling gunpowder is already a certainty, as long as it is confirmed that he is the mastermind, then it doesn't matter if the man in black can catch it. Therefore, Gao Xi has to admit this sin, and he has to admit it if he doesn't admit it!
The officers and men soon reached such a consensus......
However, the worries of the officers and men gradually dissipated, because in a little bit of verification, there was more and more evidence pointing to Gao Xi, which made the officers and men completely justified.
During the inspection of Cheng Ziyu's room on the second floor, they found a jade Linglong behind the table foot of the dressing table.
Gui'er, who was picking up clothes, shook her head again and again, indicating that this was not owned by Cheng Ziyu.
And after the judgment of the Gao family's slaves, this jade Linglong is the treasure of the old lady of the Gao family in Yangzhou, and she gave it to Gao Xi before leaving this time. And Gao Xi also attaches great importance to this jade exquisiteness, and has always kept it close to him......
Since he is a baby, how could he come to Cheng Ziyu's room by himself? is a personal collection on Gao Xi, how can it be obtained by others?
In this way, this jade exquisite dragon suddenly became direct evidence that Gao Xi was the mastermind of the man in black.
Many officers and soldiers believe that it was Gao Xi who commanded the man in black to steal in the room on the second floor, and the man in black was broken by Cheng Ziyu and others when he left. After the man in black lured people away, Gao Xi at that time didn't dare to go downstairs and had nowhere to hide, so he had to go up to the third-floor observation deck to perform a bitter trick, pretending to be attacked by the man in black and fainting......
It was also Gao Xi's bad luck, in order to clear up his relationship with the man in black, in the initial interrogation, he was clever enough to insist that he had never been to Cheng Ziyu's room on the second floor.
So this physical evidence found in the room at this moment is completely a slap in the face. Therefore, after beating Gao Xi a lot, all the officials unanimously decided that Gao Xi's testimony was nonsense and would not be accepted......
Subsequently, the boatmen of the big ship couldn't resist the pressure and confessed, saying that it was Gao Xi's steward who ordered them to secretly drive the boat into the river after the banquet. They questioned it at the time, but Steward Zhang threatened them. Steward Zhang and their son-in-law clearly have a plan......
Also making similar statements were the boatmen and the guards on the first floor of the ship, who said that they were also arranged by Steward Zhang to leave the ship. Childe is also uncharacteristically overdone today, and it is indeed abnormal......
The officers and soldiers followed the clues layer by layer......
