Chapter 80: Go for a Walk
Li Yuanwai didn't know how to refute Ah Leng: "This ......"
"Hmph, useless thing!" The county magistrate secretly scolded Li Yuanwai in his stomach, and thought for a while, "Since this is the case, then escort Lu Xiyi to the prison first, and wait for further investigation!" Retire! ”
Without waiting for Ah Leng to talk to Lu Xiyi, the county magistrate left in a hurry.
Two people came over, one took Lu Xiyi's left hand, and the other took Lu Xiyi's right hand: "Let's go!" ”
Lu Xiyi believed that Ah Leng would clear her name: "Don't worry about me, run the Xiaoyao Wine Shop well, that's my hard work!" ”
Seeing Lu Xiyi being escorted away, Ah Leng was powerless, and his heart really hurt like a pinprick!
"Brother, think of a way!" Xiaomeng tugged at the placket of Ah Leng's clothes.
A trace of pain flashed across Ah Leng's face, and he looked at Li Yuanwai angrily: "How much money did Shen Sizhuo give you?" ”
Li Yuanwai pursed his lips contemptuously: "You just wait to collect Lu Xiyi's body!" Flicked his sleeves and walked out of the yamen.
Ah Leng walked like a zombie, and he didn't know how he got back to the Xiaoyao Wine Shop.
Seeing Ah Leng's desperate expression, Shen Sizhuo, who was hiding in the corner to watch the excitement, couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth: "This is what happens to you against me!" ”
turned around, and when he was about to leave, he saw Liu Ji riding a snow-white tall horse standing under a willow tree, staring at him sharply. It's creepy to see him.
"Why are you looking at me like that? It's like I'm missing your money. ”
Liu Ji's face was expressionless: "You have no evidence to prove that Lu Xiyi was poisoned, and your plan is doomed to failure." ”
Shen Sizhuo sneered disdainfully: "You have no evidence to prove Lu Xiyi's innocence." ”
Liu Ji nodded: "Let Lu Xiyi be between innocent and guilty, this is your plan, isn't it?" ”
Shen Sizhuo nodded proudly: "It seems that you are a smart person!" I just want her to stay in prison until the Runaway Wine House closes down. ”
Liu Ji shook his head: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, I am only afraid that you will find yourself miserable!" ”
"Don't give me a moral lecture, let's go to the Xiaoyao Wine Shop to discuss with Ah Leng how to save Lu Xiyi." Shen Sizhuo climbed onto the horse and deliberately shouted loudly, "Ride! ”
The horses trotted away.
Ah Leng seemed to be stuck in the ice cellar, sitting alone on the patio, looking at the fire tongs that Lu Xiyi had been using for a long time, as if the tongs had been touched by her, and she also had human feelings, and was telling Ah Leng about Lu Xiyi's pain in prison.
"Brother Leng, is it useful for you to just sit here and stare at the tongs?"
The stern rebuke made Ah Leng look back suddenly: "It's you!" ”
Liu Ji cut his hands behind his back: "What, even I don't want to see it?" ”
Ah Leng was bored: "You won't be here to taunt me, will you?" ”
Liu Ji blinked his eyes: "Yes, it's not!" However, if my woman were to be caught in prison, I would not be here just staring at the tongs, even if I was helpless. ”
Liu Ji's words annoyed Ah Leng: "What nonsense are you talking about!" Nozomi is not my woman. ”
Liu Jibei smiled even more happily, because Ah Leng was too nervous, and the more nervous he was, the more it showed that he had a ghost in his heart: "What, I told me what was going on in my heart?" ”
With a swish, Ah Leng grabbed Liu Ji's collar: "If you talk nonsense again, I'm really going to beat someone!" ”
At this time, Ah Leng was as cold as ice, but it was not a joke, Liu Ji didn't want to provoke him anymore: "Okay, okay!" As the saying goes, action is a three-point fortune, and if you just stay here, you won't be able to do anything. It's better to go out with me, take a walk among the red dust and purple mo, and maybe you will find something. ”
Ah Leng heard that Liu Ji had something to say, so he walked out of the Xiaoyao Wine Shop with him.
"Brother, where are you going?" Xiaomeng was very anxious.
Liu Ji pursed his lips: "Go out and play a trick." ”
"Going out?" Xiaomeng snorted angrily, "Now that my sister is locked up in prison, do you still have time to play?" I wish I could take a hoe and rob people in the prison! ”
In Liu Ji's heart, Xiaomeng is just a child, and he doesn't care much about her. Ah Leng glanced at her and rode away with Liu Ji.
"Hmph, what the hell!" Xiaomeng stomped on the ground.
The two believed in the horses all the way, and the horses walked along the lanes of Liuzhou City, and unconsciously went out of the city. Liu Ji didn't say anything about Lu Xiyi, and when he saw the beautiful scenery, he recited a few lines of poetry in his mouth.
When I walked to a deserted outskirts, I saw white sails flying and dark money flying. When Ah Leng looked at it, he saw a woman with a four or five-year-old child crying sadly next to a new grave.
"Husband, if you die like this, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!"
As the so-called tearful eyes meet tearful eyes, Ah Leng heard the cries of women and children, and was very sad, so he turned the horse's head to go back.
"Wait, what are you doing here?" Liu Ji stopped him inexplicably.
Ah Leng's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Come to this kind of place, do you still have the heart to see the scenery?" ”
Liu Ji's words went one step further: "I'm not here to see the scenery. ”
Cold: "What do you want to tell me?" ”
Liu Ji nodded at the mother and daughter: "Follow them." ”
Although he didn't know what Liu Ji wanted to say, Ah Leng faintly felt that the mother and daughter had something to do with Lu Xiyi.
After the memorial service, the woman carried a basket and took the child, reluctantly left the new grave and walked to Liuzhou City.
Ah Leng and Liu Ji followed.
The woman lives in a poor alley, and her home is actually a shack made of straw.
"Mom, I'm hungry!" The child looked at his mother pitifully.
Ah Leng thought that the woman would be helpless, but to his surprise, after the woman sighed, she took out a silver ingot from her pocket and saw that there were ten taels, and for some reason, the woman looked at the ingot of silver, and then burst into tears.
"Since you are hungry, I will take this ingot of money that your father bought with his life to buy food."
The woman walked out and happened to meet Ah Leng Liu Ji in the alley.
Women are reserved out of women's dignity and concealment. Liu Ji deliberately blocked her way.
"Wang Liu, where are you going?"
The son in front of her actually called out her name, and the woman was very surprised: "You are ......"
Liu Ji said: "Are you the wife of Ding Xiaowang of Li Yuanwai's family?" ”
The woman was even more shocked: "I am." ”
Ah Leng's pupils dilated: It turned out that the person Liu Ji asked him to see was the wife and child of the dead housekeeper!
"Your husband died unjustly!" Liu Ji said.
The woman's frightened face was like earth: "You...... Who are you? ”
It was not only the woman who was shocked, but also Ah Leng. The family Ding that Liu Ji refers to should be the family member that Li Yuanwai said drank the wine of Xiaoyao Wine Shop and died. However, why did Liu Ji say that the family died very unjustly?
"Hey, do you have any silver with you?" Liu Ji suddenly asked Ah Leng.
Ah Leng took out a few pieces of loose silver: "That's it." ”
Liu Ji shook his head: "I have silver on me, but this is a matter between you and Lu Xiyi, so you should pay for it!" What can these scattered pieces of silver accomplish? Isn't there anything worth ten taels of silver? ”
Liu Ji said this, it must be useful for him, Ah Leng thought about it, and took off a silver gluttonous button from his belt: "This is an ancestral heirloom, it should be worth ten taels of silver." "Throw it to Liu Ji.
Liu Ji took it and looked at it: "This is not only ten taels of silver, ten taels of gold are worth it!" Then he shook it in front of Wang Liu's eyes, "You take this button to the pawn shop, and you can exchange it for at least one hundred taels of silver." ”
The woman waved her hand in fear: "No, I can't ask for it." ”
Liu Ji said with a domineering face: "You have to do it, because I want you to say one thing." ”
The woman was so frightened that she leaned against the wall of the alley: "What...... What's the matter? ”
"How did Xiao Wang die?"
"You say my husband?"
"Exactly!"
