Chapter 170: The Mysterious Murderer
The man asked Yugo so frightened that he was stunned.
Tamagogo repeated: "I ask you where are you going?" ”
The man stumbled: "Where, nowhere to go." ”
Seeing that his eyes were wandering, Yu Dai was clearly a thief, and suddenly attacked him unprepared: "You killed Zhu Caisheng!" ”
The man almost fell to the ground, and said, "It's not me, it's me." ”
Yugo looked at him idly: "It's not you, what are you running?" Zhu Caisheng was killed by you, I will go and tell Lord Shangguan now, a hundred rods will go down, the skin will be opened, and you will dare to deny it. ”
After saying that, he pretended to leave, the man paused, swallowed and spit, and then cried and shouted with a sad face: "I'm afraid that I will die a bad death like Zhu Supervisor." ”
There were words in the words, and Yu Yu turned back: "Tell me honestly, and save you from the torture of a hundred rods." ”
The man nodded and admitted: "I know you, girl, and I've heard of the girl's name, so what I said is the truth, Zhu Caisheng was not killed by me, nor by the cook, but by a very strange person." ”
Yugo looked back at Shangguan Yu's direction, he had already instructed someone to wake up the cook with a basin of cold water, and at this time he was going to torture him to extract a confession, Yugo said angrily to the person in front of him: "Since you know the truth, why don't you tell Lord Shangguan, if you don't report it, you will be guilty of the murderer." ”
The man's mouth grew: "Ah! ”
Then I really cried, a big man, humbling, so sad, chattered in pieces: "I want to say it, but I am afraid that Lord Shangguan will torture me to extract a confession, so I didn't dare to say it, last night I saw a strange person kill Zhu Jian ......"
His name is Zhang Changshun, last night, he took a few taels of silver sent by his family to find Zhu Caisheng, and wanted to bribe Zhu Caisheng to have a good errand, and not to move stones or dig the bottom of the river, but when he arrived at the door of Zhu Caisheng, he heard some slight movements inside, as if someone was talking, he thought that someone had come to bribe Zhu Caisheng first, so he stepped to the window to take a peek, and pierced the window paper with his hand.
This look frightened him, and he saw a man wearing a black cloak, hooked nose, big mouth, bulging cheekbones, and a red face stabbed Zhu Caisheng into the heart.
He is also an honest farmer, the land at home is barren, year after year of poor harvest, just need a large number of people on the river work, he came, which Cheng wants to be tired every day half dead wages but pitiful, I heard that the imperial court to govern the Qinglong River cost is not a lot, it was the then Zuo Ling Yu Gengru to be greedy, these river workers have a lot of complaints, and want to go but can't go, but he wants to take care of Zhu Caisheng, who supervises the river workers, get a brisk errand, and get a year.
Unexpectedly, he found a murder case, where did he see such a thing, and he didn't feel an exclamation, it was because of this sound that the strange person inside looked over, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran, and the man ran open the door and chased after him, fortunately, a patrol guard came over, and he scattered the person who was chasing him.
After he returned, he didn't close his eyes all night, afraid that the man would kill him, so he wanted to sneak out of the camp and run home to hide, but unfortunately Yugo found out.
After he finished speaking, he wiped his tears and said: "I didn't make any money, and I gave my life again, my woman is so lazy to do it, once I lose my life, she will remarry in three days, who will raise my old mother and children." ”
He babbled and cried and cried.
Tamago turned a deaf ear and pondered the identity of the murderer.
Suddenly, Zhang Changshun said again: "What's even more strange is that he has a gold medal hanging on his waist, shiny, he is so rich, why did he kill Zhu Jian and rob him?" ”
Robbery? Yu Dai secretly laughed at the innocence of this old man, and drew the figure of the murderer in his heart, and suddenly a spirit in his heart, how can the murderer be so similar to those palace guards who follow Hu Kangxi? She had seen the imperial guards all wearing waist cards, jade, gold or silver, different ranks, different waist cards, but they were all vouchers for entering and leaving the palace.
However, Zhu Caisheng can't be a small supervision on the dredging project of the Qinglong River, how can he have anything to do with the people in the palace?
was thinking about it with his eyebrows lowered, and when he saw that Zhang Changshun was moving his steps and wanted to leave, Yugo said: "If he wants to kill you, even if you go to the ends of the earth, he can find you." ”
Zhang Changshun suddenly beat his chest and cried, and the crying attracted Shangguan Yu to look over, Yugo was afraid that Shangguan Yu would interfere with his own affairs, so he stopped Zhang Changshun and said: "If you don't want to die, you can be bait to help me lure the murderer out." ”
Zhang Changshun stopped crying: "Pull it down, I don't dare." ”
Yugo immediately said: "Then you just wait for death." ”
The man had to compromise: "It's okay to be a bait, but you have to protect me." ”
Yugo looked at himself left and right, thin arms and legs, and didn't know kung fu, but he agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I'll protect you." ”
Then the two of them talked in detail about how to be bait and how to lure the murderer out, and after teaching, Yugo returned to Shangguan.
Shangguan Yu just heard the man's cry and asked Yugo, "What's the matter?" ”
Yugo's tone was light: "An old acquaintance encountered something sad, and I persuaded him." ”
With such an understatement, Shangguan Yu seemed to believe it or not, and was busy interrogating the cook, so it was over, and he was about to instruct his subordinates to torture the cook again, Yugo couldn't help but remind him: "I don't know river affairs, but I also know that widening the river, planting trees and strengthening embankments, removing sedimentation, flood diversion and diversion is a necessary means to control the river, and it is too late to do those century-old plans now, but if you don't quickly divert the water of the Qinglong River in the past two days, once it breaks, it will be unimaginable, as for Zhu Caisheng's case, it is not in a hurry." ”
Shangguan Yu said: "Human life is at stake, how can you say that you are not in a hurry." ”
Yugo smiled coldly: "Yes, human life is at stake, compared with the people of the entire Mengjiang River, which is more important?" ”
Shangguan Yu's throat stalked.
Tamango turned around and left.
Shangguan Yu finally ordered that Zhu Caisheng's body be sent to Yizhuang for storage, and also sent away the seventh aunt and other bitter masters, the case was postponed for retrial, he could look for it in the camp, and finally found Yugo in Zhu Caisheng's residence, and invited her to go to the barren meadow with her to see if it was suitable to lead the water here.
This busy work passed noon, on the way back to the camp, the two of them were also walking while studying how to divide the flood and divert water, the barren meadow is very vast, and there is no one in a radius of dozens of miles nearby, when it is a good place to divide the flood, Yugo thought at this time, the water will be led to the barren meadow, spread all over the ground, the water will become very shallow, I heard that there are many fish in the Qinglong River, is not a good opportunity to make a fortune.
She smiled secretly, but she couldn't do it herself, she had to find someone to partner with, who was it? It's useless to talk to Ba Yi, he is a general, he is busy with major affairs for the country and the people, it's useless to talk to Shangguan Yu, he is so busy with floods and murders that his feet don't touch the ground, it's useless to talk to Guan Yu, he's just a slave who makes people call and drink, who is good? After pondering all the way, I thought of Lin Xiuyuan, the owner of Linjiazhuang who had been to before, he was the most suitable for someone and money.
