Chapter 109: Draw out the murderer
"Sister Xihe, it's this idiot who sneaked up on you!" Xue Jinqiao ran to Shen Xihe and motioned for the guards to press the person in front of them, it was a swarthy man in gray clothes.
Shen Xihe glanced at Moyu, and Moyu vaguely remembered a little outline: "Like." β
"That's him!" Xue Jinqiao was dissatisfied with Mo Yu's answer.
She finally got rid of the red tape of the Xue family today, and when she arrived at the county lord's mansion, she learned from Hongyu that Shen Xihe and Shen Yunan had come here to climb the mountain, and immediately chased after her, and when she saw Mo Yuan and Mo Yao driving at the foot of the mountain, she knew that Shen Xi and them had gone up the mountain.
When she caught up, she saw Moyu chasing people, thinking that she could find Shen Xihe by following Moyu, but Moyu turned back halfway, she had to follow, and when she noticed that something was wrong, she let the guards continue to chase people, and she also turned back, but it was one step too late for Shen Yunan and Moyu.
However, the guards caught the person Mo Yu was chasing, and she chased after him immediately.
"What are you doing with me? In broad daylight, arresting people indiscriminately, do you have a royal law? The arrested man immediately shouted, "Help, help, the powerful have killed someoneβ"
"You-" Xue Jinqiao was so angry that she couldn't finish him off with a knife, but in front of Shen Xihe, she didn't act rashly.
But it was his loud voice that alarmed everyone, and there were already many people at the foot of the mountain, and they all gathered around at once.
Xue Jinqiao and Shen Xihe were both wearing curtain fences, but the two of them were dressed luxuriously, and no one dared to speak out easily, but they were all whispering around.
Shen Xihe quietly howled by him, and when more and more people came around, Shen Xihe gave Mo Yuan a look.
Mo Yuan clenched his fist and smashed it towards the opponent's chest, directly smashing the person to the ground, covering his chest and coughing violently.
"Save ...... Help ......"
Mo Yuan kicked again, turning the person over several times and curling up on the ground.
The onlookers pushed away one after another, and many people couldn't look at it, but they didn't dare to help, they really didn't dare to provoke Shen Xihe and others.
Mo Yuan stomped on his body again, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and stepped on him to ask, "Who instructed you?" β
"Titicaca......" the man coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, "I ......"
"Although the county lord of Zhaoning is not a royal clan, he is also the county lord of His Majesty's entitlement, so if he acts like this, he abuses the people in front of everyone, so he is not afraid of losing face to the king of the northwest and dishonoring His Majesty's prestige?" A loud female voice suddenly sounded.
It is a girl who wears a lapel robe, and nowadays girls often wear men's clothes in order to go out cheaply, especially lapel robes are particularly popular.
She is not pretending to be a man, but she is wearing men's clothes, with a little powder, thin eyebrows and deep paintings, looking heroic and sassy.
This person, Shen Xihe knows, is Jiang Baiyan, the daughter of Jiang Eighty, the Taifu Siqing, and it is said that she does not lose to her son.
"Girl Jiang, who have you just met?" Shen Xihe suddenly asked.
Jiang Baiyan was stunned, not knowing why Shen Xihe asked. Subconsciously frowned: "Why do you ask this?" β
"Or, before the ginger girl spoke, she saw the last person, or who did she hear?" Shen Xihe asked further.
"What the hell are you going to say?" Jiang Baiyan was confused.
"Today, my brother and I climbed the heights, and someone set on snakes to take my life halfway, and they also disturbed many climbers." Shen Xihe said lightly, "This person is the person who set the snake." β
"Slander...... It's pure slander......," the man lying on the ground retorted in pain and squeezed his voice.
"What evidence do you have?" Jiang Baiyan glanced at this person and asked Shen Xihe.
"He caught the snake and painted his hands with realgar to prevent the snake from biting him." Shen Xihe motioned for Mo Yuan to bring the person over, if he hadn't caught a glimpse of the yellow realgar powder in his hand, Shen Xihe would not have let Mo Yuan do it without investigation.
It's not that I don't believe in Xue Jinqiao, but there are a lot of people who climb the mountain, and there will inevitably be confusion.
But how can ordinary mountaineers smear realgar with their hands?
The yellowed hands were spread out by Mo Yuan, and Jiang Baiyan heard the frightened people in the crowd cursing again, and knew that what Shen Xihe said was true, and she clasped her hands and saluted: "The county lord forgive me, I rashly accused me without verification." β
Shen Xihe didn't care: "Girl Jiang doesn't have to blame herself, I deliberately let my subordinates be cruel to him, and I feel that I am not the only one who is ruthless." The reason for this is because I suppose that the Lord must have sent his men to climb the mountain as well......"
As she spoke, her eyes turned around with her body, this person was waiting for an opportunity, it was impossible to guess that they would rest in the pavilion, and plan in advance, then they would never just let the people who drove them come, they must be accompanying themselves, and they would specify a plan to deal with her at any time.
"This person is thoughtful, if it weren't for the Seven Ladies this time, I wouldn't be able to catch him." Shen Xihe glanced at the person who was speechless because of Xionghuang, "This person will be anxious when he sees that he has driven others to fall into my hands, and I deliberately let my subordinates beat him, just to arouse the righteous people's hearts to be angry, so that he will find someone to come forward to do justice." β
When ordinary people see Shen Xi and such nobles, no matter how upright they are, they will also protect themselves, and the Hanmen are born with a sense of awe for the nobles. The person who can be used to confront Shen Xihe must be of a high status, and his chivalrous heart is not very smart, or he is a little prejudiced against Shen Xihe himself.
Jiang Baiyan can apologize frankly in public, then it is not that she is prejudiced against Shen Xihe in her heart, it can only be the former.
"It's the second lady of Rongfu!" Jiang Baiyan was also angry, and dared to use her when she did something bad, "It was the second lady of Rongfu who said that the county advocated and practiced the people." β
The corners of Shen Xihe's lips raised slightly, and he was worried that there was no evidence.
"Mo Yuan, take him to Jingzhao Mansion, and Biyu will invite all the frightened girls in today's pavilion to Jingzhao Yin to testify." After Shen Xihe finished giving the order, he took Moyu's hand and got into the carriage.
The group went to Jingzhao Mansion in a big way, and the last time they went to Dali Temple, it was because it involved the son of the prince and minister, and Shen Xihe also wanted to take the opportunity to see if Cui Jinbai would show up.
This time, it was only the ordinary people and the minister's relatives who were involved, so Shen Xihe gave Jing Zhaoyin some face.
In fact, Jing Zhaoyin wished that this ancestor would ignore his face and go directly to Dali Temple!
Behind Shen Xihe is the king of the northwest, and behind the Rong family are the noble concubines, the king of Xin and the king of lie!
If it weren't for Shen Xi and the non-sectarian family, he wouldn't have been able to dump the pot on Zongzheng Temple!
"Your subordinate Li Erlang, the county lord accused you of being instructed by someone to deliberately set snakes with the intention of killing you, can you admit it?" Jing Zhaoyin interrogated with a bitter face.
"My lord, the small people are wronged, the ancestral snake taming skills of the small people, I went up the mountain today just to catch the snake ......" In a short period of time, the other party has already thought of an excuse.
"Ridiculous, smeared with realgar catching snakes, you are like an ignorant child when you are the official!" Jing Zhaoyin scolded.
"After the villain caught the snake, he was afraid of being injured by the poisonous snake, so he smeared realgar." Li Erlang argued.
