Chapter 25: One Step Late
"Who?" In the door of Su's house, there was an unfamiliar voice from the person delivering food.
The food delivery person hurriedly reported his name, "Su Ri delivered food to the house!" ”
The sound of delivering food is not deceiving, and a thin slit was opened in the middle to look out, but at a glance, I saw a lot of people standing outside, and I was stunned, "Where are so many people who deliver food?!" ”
This person's voice was cold and cautious, and the food delivery had never been heard, and everyone, including him, was a little scared, "We are all from the village under the mountain, and we are here to see and see!" ”
The food delivery man told everyone about the situation that came with him, "...... We're not going to lie! It's just that this master, you are really the Su family, why didn't I hear which one? ”
There seemed to be a pause in the room, and the man in the lake shirt saw through the crack in the door that the man turned around and said something to the person behind him, and after a few breaths, the door slowly opened.
Only then did the crowd see the situation inside the door. I saw that the person standing at the door was dressed as a catcher, but the clothes were bright, and the hunting in the town was incomparable. He had a large knife pinned to his waist, and behind him stood four or five people dressed in the same clothes.
"Oops, official!" The small people were most afraid of getting into trouble with the officials, and when they saw so many officials standing in the Su family's door, they were so frightened that they retreated, and the man in the lake shirt and the man in the green shirt were naturally sandwiched in the middle.
The person who opened the door saw that he was scared, and couldn't help laughing, "It's not to catch you, what are you afraid of?" Just right, all come in, we have something to ask. ”
Everyone hurried to go, one by one regretted that today's events were too much, and they were involved in the lawsuit, but the official in the door was not just talking, and he held the big knife on his waist with his hand, and "invited" everyone in.
It's just that when I entered the door and didn't settle down, I don't know who suddenly screamed.
"Ahh Dead person! Dead person! ”
This voice was shouted, and everyone immediately saw that the ground in the courtyard was turned to shreds, and in the pit dug out, there were several people, all of whom were rotting and emitting a disgusting smell.
Seeing such a scene, the small people in the village turned around and were about to run back, but as soon as the people behind turned around, the small door had already been closed. The corpses were dug up in the courtyard, the door was closed tightly, and these officials were five big and three thick, and there were knives in their hands, almost unanimously, and the villagers knelt down and cried and begged for mercy.
The man in the green shirt and the man in the lake shirt naturally kowtowed and shouted, but these two were not really afraid, they looked at the official with the knife carefully, and quickly looked at the opportunistic look.
Everyone looked like this, and the official in the courtyard actually laughed, and the person who opened the door just opened the door sighed twice, "What are you crying and what are you shouting?" Let's start when we're done talking! ”
As soon as the words fell, the courtyard suddenly fell silent, only one breath, and the sound of crying was even louder, and the tiles on the eaves trembled three times.
"Kong Xuan, what are you trying to scare them about?" Amidst the crying, a calm voice came out.
"Hey," the man who opened the door looked pleasant, "I just killed the thief, can't you relax and relax?" He is the Kong Xuan in the mouth, Kong Xuan shook his neck and finished speaking, seeing that the villagers were still noisy, he said twice in disgust, "Okay", "We are people with six doors, only kill the gangsters in the rivers and lakes, not the people!" ”
After he finished speaking, everyone's voices immediately became a lot quieter, but the "six doors" were He Yamen, and many villagers didn't know, plus this person said that they had just killed the thief, and everyone was still scared and trembled. Seeing this, Kong Xuan turned around impatiently and left, and said to the man who had persuaded him just now, "Brother Lan, you can come." ”
This person's surname is Xu Dan's name and a blue character, and the six people in the Su family courtyard headed by him are indeed the fast arresters of the six doors, just as Kong Xuan said, they just killed the thieves and called these people in, it was really for questioning.
He was a little older in these catches, his voice was calm, and he calmed everyone a few words, and the shaking of the ground was obviously a lot lighter, and he saw everyone's eyes glancing at the corpses dug out of the ground, and explained warmly: "These corpses should be the Su family, and they have been dead for many days, and they were killed by thieves." ”
The bodies dug up in the ground were men, women, and children. Xu Lan pointed to everyone and stepped forward to identify it, the food delivery and the two bold ones glanced at it a few times, trembling their legs and trembling: "It seems that they are all ......"
Xu Lan nodded, seeing that the villagers wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, his eyes wandered between them and the corpse, and he felt that he should make it clearer, "The Su family was killed by a group of bandits. This gang of bandits is strong in martial arts and does all kinds of evil, we have been chasing and killing for a long time, but I didn't expect this group of people to come into the Su family and hide. As the food delivery brother said, the Su family was killed by these thieves two months ago, and the people who received the food later were all thieves. ”
He was so picky, the food delivery didn't stand firmly, his legs fell to the ground weakly, and when he touched his forehead again, he was drenched in cold sweat - it turned out that he was only one door away from being killed!
After Xu Lan explained, Kong Xuan happened to go and return, and came from the courtyard with people. He was followed by three catchers, and the four of them were dragging something in their hands, and everyone looked at each other, and they were shocked, four people covered in blood.
That Kong Xuan was very calm, threw down the bloody man in his hand, and beckoned to the person who delivered the food, "Don't get crooked, come and see which one is the one who picks up your food." ”
As soon as he said this, everyone understood, weren't these four people the thieves who killed the Su family in Xu Lan's mouth?!
Everyone looked at the murderous thief, and the man in the lake shirt and the man in the green shirt glanced at each other, and both of them had a bad look in their eyes.
Guo listened to Nakong preaching: "The four thieves killed the Su family, and after two months of being a rich man, even the knife made it difficult to extort us, and they wanted to split us, but we solved it in a few clicks!" ”
The bodies of the four thieves were thrown to the ground, and some of the bold villagers looked at them a few times, and the two strangers also looked at them, but the more they looked at them, their faces became more and more heavy.
Xu Lan, the little leader of the six doors, said a few words to comfort everyone, and said: "The thief is dead, you are not allowed to talk nonsense when you go down the mountain, this matter is decided by the government." ”
The villagers agreed, staggered away. Out of the back door of Su's house, you said it at a glance and with a word. The man in the lake shirt and the man in the green shirt fell behind the crowd.
"You said those four, are they really the water bandits we are looking for?" The man in the green shirt seemed unwilling to believe it.
The man in the lake shirt sighed, "Eight or nine is not far from ten, if you can take a step earlier......"
"How can it be so coincidental? We searched for more than a month to find it, but it was only this step too slow! No wonder the commander made the lord suspicious, and now even the water bandits who killed the previous commander are dead! Is it six doors to kill people?! I'll ask! ”
The man in the lake shirt glanced at the man in the green shirt, "Don't mess around! The commander has repeatedly instructed you to act in secret! Now that we have the news, we have to send it back to the capital as soon as possible. ”
This is natural. The man in the green shirt frowned and muttered a few words, but he heard an old man in front of him say to the young man standing on the side: "...... Why don't you speak? Scareless stupid?! If you think about anything, you have to say it quickly, otherwise you will get sick in your heart! You're also a doctor, don't you understand this?! ”
The guy came back to his senses when he said this, and slowly shook his head, "I'm not scared, I just feel that something is wrong." Years ago, I followed Master to check the pulse of Mrs. Su, and she was about to give birth at that time. I just looked at the people dug up in the field, Mrs. Su's stomach is shriveled, and she doesn't have the corpse of a child? I can't figure it out! ”
As soon as his voice fell, the man in the lake shirt and the man in the green shirt were both stunned.
