Chapter 25: Dream On

Liu Ling's pain in the surface of his feet was slightly reduced, and then he got up and limped to the wooden window, and gently pierced the window paper with his fingers, but the first thing he saw was Wei Xuan.

a table in the room with a stack of books and a burning candle; Next to the table, there was a chair, which Wei Xuan was sitting underneath; Not far away was a dilapidated bed with patches of bedding.

Wei Xuan was holding a book in his hand, his whole mind was low, tears were like beads on his face, and he was sobbing in a low voice, looking heartbroken.

"A big man, what is there to cry about, what a shame!" Xu Yun complained in a low voice.

Liu Ling didn't approve of this ruthless guy, glared at Xu Yun fiercely, turned around and left.

Xu Yun didn't understand why Liu Ling was so fast: "You won't finish the secret investigation so quickly?" ”

"yes, you want to spend the night here?"

Walking to the root of the wall, Xu Yun said that he would not take Liu Ling out of the courtyard with anything: "You tell me clearly, what did you see at such a fast speed?" ”

Liu Ling wanted to hang Xu Yun's appetite, but looking at the height of the wall, he had to compromise: "Wei Xuan is so painful, it is nothing more than because Lu Yuan disappeared for no reason, and it makes him feel guilty for not protecting Lu Yuan, and he also misses separation." ”

"What do you mean, I believe that Wei Xuan is not the murderer who kidnapped Lu Yuan?"

If it was him, this meeting should be secretly happy, how could he suddenly be sad when he was reading a book. Xu Dazhutou, do we still want to go? The next place is Lu Mansion, which still needs some distance, so you won't wait until the whole city has a curfew to go, right? ”

……

The two dilapidated houses are surrounded by unformed farm tools, weapons, etc., and as long as they are related to iron tools, they can basically be seen here.

There was a big stove in the center of the room, and there was a raging fire in it, and next to the flame was a bellows, and a middle-aged man in his forties picked up a red-hot, almost formed knife handle and put it on the iron block to hammer it.

A young man under the age of twenty next to him will pull up the bellows and help the middle-aged man beat him.

The faces of the old and the young were covered with black dust, and beads of sweat flowed like beaded curtains.

As soon as Zhou Fang came, he was made a cold bench, standing aside and taking care of himself in a daze.

The shopkeeper Xu Yi, who is the same age as Zhou Fang, has passed the age of confusion, and the young man next to him is his apprentice, and the flexible cooperation of the master and apprentice in casting iron tools completely ignores Zhou Fang like an invisible person.

Zhou Fang felt embarrassed, but he had to give up his son and beg Xu Yi: "Brother Xu, for the sake of our acquaintance for many years, please tell me who the person who made the silver needle is?" ”

Xu Yi still didn't hear it, and the rhythm of the thrashing in his hand didn't seem to stop.

Zhou Fang pursed his lips and begged for a long time, his mouth was dry, but it had no effect, but in order for the case to progress, he had to persevere, maybe after a while, he would be able to see the dawn of hope: "Brother Xu, I beg you, please tell me who the murderer is, otherwise, I can't give justice to the deceased." ”

There was a loud bang, which made Zhou Fang's heart tremble, and when he looked at it, it was Xu Yi who beat him to the last time, threw the hammer to the ground angrily, stared at Zhou Fang viciously, and his angry face burned more and more like a furnace: "Zhou Fang, I have already made everything clear to that catcher, but you vow not to give up, come over in person, will I sell you favors?"

Don't be whimsical, I've been harmed by you once, and you're still counting on me to tell the truth, but there is no door. In the past, every time you came to check the murder weapon, whether I knew it or not, I would know everything and say everything.

Only in that murder case, I have confessed to you more than once, the murderer's background is deep, you can't afford to provoke me, don't betray me, but you went against my will, and confessed that his murderous weapon was made by me.

And the murderer held a grudge, secretly united with his subordinates, and came to me again and again to make trouble, and almost died. Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, you want me to give you no choice of words, dream of it! ”

For the past that Xu Yi has been haunting about, how could Zhou Fang not remember the incident three months ago, a woman who was no more than seventeen years old was thrown into the wilderness, and her chest was a fatal wound left by a special murder weapon.

Zhou Fang went to inquire about Xu Yi, and by coincidence, it turned out to be a weapon created by Xu Yi.

When Zhou Fang found out about the appearance of the man who created the weapon, Xu Yi only said that he had nothing to say at first, but later he couldn't help Zhou Fang's entanglement, and then he said that the identity of the murderer turned out to be a relative of the emperor, Zhang Zhongquan, a distant nephew of Empress Zhang.

Let's not talk about whether Empress Zhang will intervene in this matter, how can a group of outlaws raised by Zhang Zhong after his whole body be touchable by ordinary people.

Xu didn't want to say it, and he was worried that he was sorry for the brotherhood with Zhou Fang for many years, and he was afraid that Zhang Zhongquan would retaliate against him.

In a dilemma, he still chose the former ruthlessly, and repeatedly warned Zhou Fang not to reveal him.

According to Zhou Fang's bloody nature, he didn't want to let go of any murderer, so he crossed the criminal department and directly revealed it to Emperor Xiaozong through a relationship that others didn't know.

Is it killing? Is it to give justice to the dead?

According to the virtuous and upright Emperor Xiaozong, he will not read the slightest affection, so he blocked the mouth of Empress Zhang.

The final result did develop towards Zhou Fang's prediction, but I didn't expect that Zhang Zhongquan's Peng Yu didn't know how he knew that Xu Yi had betrayed Zhang Zhongquan, beating, smashing, and insulting him repeatedly, almost demolishing Xu Yi's house, and the master and apprentice were even more bruised.

After that, all the pain Xu Yi suffered was attributed to Zhou Fang, who unanimously believed that Zhou Fang betrayed him, and at the same time was glad that his family was in the countryside and was spared all these disasters, and swore that he would never speak his words again, let alone believe in Zhou Fang's brotherhood.

However, Zhou Fang is also aggrieved in every way, speaking with his conscience, doing decades of misery, and having come into contact with all kinds of cases, how can he not know that he must protect all those who are helpful to the case.

Xu Yi's misunderstanding of him was really indisputable, and after that, Xu Yi was bullied by those outlaws, and he didn't know it, because it was at that time that Liu Ling's father was put on death row, and Liu Ling was assigned to the brothel Avon Pavilion.

Although Zhou Fang did not have much intersection with Liu Ling's father, Liu Xianfang, Liu Ling was the apprentice he had seen since he was a child, like his own daughter, watching Liu Ling suffer a sudden disaster, how could he not feel pain in his heart.

It is precisely because Zhou Fang's mind is all on Liu Ling that he ignores Xu Yi's safety.

Zhou Fang had blamed himself more than once, but the incident had happened, and it was irreparable, and he apologized to Xu Yi repeatedly, but Xu Yi has always turned a blind eye to him and turned a deaf ear.

Today, let Catch come to him to inquire, but he was beaten out, and Zhou Fang personally went out and asked Xu Yi again cheekily, hoping to hear some clues.
