Chapter 037: The Water Falls and the Rocks Fall
Gu Zicheng wanted to prove his innocence, he let it go, and threw off his arms and did it alone.
However, where is Taojing capable of one person?
Su Lan arranged two more helpers for him. The three of them worked and tossed for a long time, and finally scooped up the water from the well.
There were no bodies at the bottom of the well, not even a single large stone.
Su Lan brought in several servants of the Tang family and interrogated them again.
After checking and checking, no one saw anyone jumping into the well, and no one heard anyone jumping into the well.
All they knew was told to them by the steward of the Tang Mansion.
"Look at it, it's all rumors with no evidence." Gu Zicheng thought that he could get rid of the crime.
However, a servant also said that that morning, an old man who did Yin Gong came to the Tang Mansion, that is, the kind of person who specializes in helping people deal with funerals.
The man pulled a coffin in a carriage, and the woman who committed suicide would not be transported in a coffin to the outside of the town for burial.
Su Lan tracked down the whereabouts of the old man again.
It took a lot of effort to find the old man.
The old man said very calmly, he did drive the carriage to the Tang Mansion that day, ready to pull the dead.
After arriving, the housekeeper of the Tang Mansion told him that the man threw himself into the well and did not fish it out, so he filled the well directly.
He only pulled the empty coffin out of town.
The context of the matter gradually became clearer.
That night, no one in the Tang Mansion jumped into the well, and no one died.
It's possible that this is all a lie they made up.
Perhaps, as Gu Zicheng said, he did see Leng Xueni, but Xueni was not willing to go with him.
Tang Weiyi, the second young master of the Tang Mansion, took Leng Xueni away.
When he found out this, a servant from the Tang Mansion recalled. Since the thief that night, I haven't seen Tang Weiyi and Miss Swallow.
Whether they were alive or dead, or eloped, no one could tell.
If you want to track it down, you can only wait until the Tang family is caught and interrogated.
The Tang family had already fled to the county seat and hid in the militia station.
It is said that Tang Yongfa was worried that the county seat was not safe, and may have fled to the provincial capital.
The clue is broken.
Although she did not help Gu Zicheng clear her name, she could at least judge that Leng Xueni did not commit suicide by throwing herself into a well because of Gu Zicheng's visit to the Tang Mansion that night.
Su Lan fed back the results of the investigation to the commander-in-chief and Director Cheng, and the two top leaders of Evian Town agreed that Gu Zicheng would restore his freedom and still return to the Red Guards.
Because the matter has not been clarified after all, his squad leader can't be a team leader, only an ordinary team member.
Although Gu Zicheng was not satisfied, he was still acceptable.
In this way, he can at least have the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. Maybe one day when you enter the county seat and capture the people of the Tang family, the truth will come to light.
Regarding the results of such an investigation, Su Lan decided to talk to Leng Tiehu about it, so that he could let go of his ideological baggage, eliminate his suspicions, and join the Red Guards as soon as possible.
……
Leng Tiehu followed Hu Dahai to the north of the town to collect security fees for several days, and he was very aggrieved.
He somewhat regretted joining the Silver Gun Society. However, it is easy to get on a thief ship and get off a thief ship.
Shi Dazhu was his cousin after all, and he was whipped by Hu Dahai that day in the White Jade Academy. After Shi Dazhu found out, he reprimanded Hu Dahai.
The Silver Gun Society has not been established for a long time and has developed rapidly. The team not only grew to nearly 100 people, but also got more than a dozen guns.
What a guy! It's not your average bird.
The strength of the Silver Gun Society is close to that of the Red Guards.
That evening, the congregation of the Silver Spear Society gathered in the Wenchang Palace to eat and drink.
They had money, bought wine, bought meat, hired a chef, set up a dozen tables, and regarded Wenchang Palace as their righteous hall.
There is a frame of a good man in Liangshan.
Tiehu squatted alone with a bowl under the big tree in the corner of the yard, thinking while eating. How did he get to this point.
Shi Dazhu noticed that Tiehu was a little wrong, so he walked over and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?" What's on your mind, unhappy for Mao? ”
Tiehu stood up, swallowed the contents of his mouth, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I thought that my uncle said a few days ago that he was going to repair the small bridge in front of his house." I want to go back and do that work again. ”
"My dad has nothing to do. Building bridges and paving roads is the business of rich people, and where we need to do it. If you don't have the benefit of a penny, you have to put manpower and material resources into it, so why bother? ”
"Oh, yes, but I'd better go back."
"You're going to have a good mix in the Silver Gun. In a few days, I will set up another rudder, and you will be the hall master. ”
"Me?"
"I heard that your axe skills are very powerful, and you can just use it to form a flying axe team. We're going to have to make a lot of people, and we're going to make the blades of our weapons clear. ”
"Hall Master, I can't do it, so forget it."
"You can do it, I say you can do it, you can do it, you can do it." Shi Dazhu said, "Following the Silver Spear Club, there is food and drink, and it doesn't have to be so hard."
When our team grows to nearly 1,000 people, we will take over the town of Yuelai in the east and the town of Mengweng in the west.
At that time, we thousands of congregations, think about it, we divide the three towns, with heavy troops in hand, what is that Huangjiang county town? What kind of militia group, Red Guards, don't all have to listen to us. ”
"Helmsman vision, admiration." Tiehu said.
"When that day comes, it's not impossible for me to give you a town to be the mayor." Shi Dazhu said that his heart was surging.
Leng Tiehu was not very tempted.
At this time, Hu Ruolian, the eldest lady of Zhenyuan Martial Arts Hall, walked into Wenchang Palace with a maid.
"Ouch, I said that I haven't seen the big pillar back to teach martial arts these days, and I used to hide here to eat and drink spicy."
Hu Ruolian twisted her ass and came to Shi Dazhu.
Da Zhu hurriedly nodded and said with a smile: "Miss, you are here." I'm about to go back and report to my master about the recent apprenticeship. ”
Leng Tiehu took the bowl and squatted down to the wall again.
Shi Dazhu pointed to the banquet in the courtyard and said, "Miss, these brothers are all rough people, you see that this banquet has been eaten, or you will not be able to give you a round table in Xichun Pavilion." ”
"No, no, this girl likes this kind of wild field."
Shi Dazhu waved his hand, and Gou Junshi immediately ran over.
Dazhu said: "Get up another table and serve the eldest lady well." ”
"I'm not here to eat." Hu Ruolian pinched the orchid and pointed, "Do you have anyone playing mahjong, get together at a table." ”
"Oh, that's what I wanted." Shi Dazhu smiled, "Yes, yes, in the backyard." Gou Junshi, you arrange it immediately. Find a few people who have a lot of money, smart ones, and have fun with the young lady. ”
"Yes, helmsman." Gou Junshi beckoned people to go.
"You're not with me?" Hu Ruolian stared at Shi Dazhu and asked.
"I, don't I have to report to the master right away."
"Come on, who doesn't know your mind." Hu Ruolian said, "Oh, I almost forgot, there is a letter from you, which was sent from Guangdong." You still have relatives so far away. ”
The maid gave the letter to Shi Dazhu and followed Hu Ruolian to the backyard.
Shi Dazhu also felt strange, he hadn't heard his parents say that any relatives and friends were in Guangdong.
