Waste Volume 2 Chapter 3 Stumbling Blocks

A fly was flying aimlessly, flapping its pitifully small wings, desperate to find a place to rest.

Fortunately, such a place was not hard to find, and it was clever enough to find a gray place full of fishy smell, and landed satisfied, gathered its wings, and began to rub its little head full of compound eyes with its two forefeet, and from time to time it would have to rub a pair of forefeet on top of each other.

Looking at the fly that landed in Tang Da's eyes, Shen Chai's stomach twitched. He didn't think this scene was so tragic, he had seen a lot of corpses with severed hands and feet, and it was impossible for him to feel disgusted by a corpse that had hanged himself.

He just figured out the consequences of Tang Da's death - Wu Haifu, that guy would definitely kill him Shen Nanhe.

Just a few hours ago, Wu Baihu also used Tang Da, the "Heavenly Court" demon, as a handle to blackmail him, and a few hours later, Tang Da, the party, died mysteriously, and he was the first to find the corpse.

If he was Wu Haifu, he would have to wonder if he was killing people and killing his mouth, so as to get rid of the dilemma of being coerced by others - when he encounters this kind of chess piece that is unwilling to be manipulated by others, in order to prevent it from biting him, the best way is of course to abolish it directly, leaving no hidden danger.

Even if there are five wrestlers who came with him to testify, even if Wu Haifu finally finds out that it is not his own mouth, with the consistent style of his own hundred households, he will definitely not let himself, a chess piece with no handle, continue to live in the world.

Thinking of this, Shen Chai immediately sorted out the key to all these problems, as long as there is no evidence that can prove that he has accepted Tang Da's bribes, then even if Wu Haifu wants to persecute himself with a black hand, he will definitely not be able to turn the case of his collusion with the "Heavenly Court" demon into an iron case.

As long as it is not an iron case, he will be able to maneuver one or two, and his boss Li Sanxin will definitely not sit idly by and watch his right-hand man being "framed" by hundreds of households and be indifferent, maybe he will report to Zhao Qianhu and give Wu Haifu, a political enemy, a charge of "framing colleagues".

At that time, it is not certain who will be killed.

Now the key person who can prove himself has died here, so there is no need to worry about Tang himself and Tang Da meeting at the knife board food fast, at that time he was in and out of the food gate with a mask, those shopkeepers have never seen their faces at all, and the shopkeeper of the food fast also has some friendship with their family, if you stuff some Taiping money into the shopkeeper, then those people in the food fast are not worried.

If he, Shen Nanhe, can find and destroy some of the physical evidence that he has seen Tang Da in the Tang Mansion, and control those servants in the Tang Mansion who know that he has met Tang Da, then he will really be like a bird in the blue sky and a fish in the sea, and he will no longer be coerced by Wu Shixing's guy!

Shen Chai's mind was running rapidly, although there were a lot of thoughts in his mind, but it was only a momentary thing, from the time they Qingluanwei entered the study to now, but it was only a snap of the fingers.

"Little Liu, you go to tell the adults of the hundred households, and say that the demon Tang Da of the 'Heavenly Court' commits suicide for fear of sin, please try the hundred households to come to the study here, and the rest of the people quickly go to the rest of the bedrooms in this courtyard to investigate carefully, and no one can escape from this soup house!" Shen Chai, who understood the crux of the problem, ordered the five wrestlers around him in time.

The wrestlers took the order, except for a thinner wrestler who ran towards the gate of the house along the route they came, and the remaining four wrestlers all tacitly drew their swords out of their sheaths, formed a simple small formation of four, and slowly advanced towards the deeper bedroom of the house.

After all, Townda's death is unknown, and it is always impossible to be vigilant.

After dividing his subordinates, Shen Chai exhaled a long breath, moved his eyes to Tang Da's body, pulled up his sleeves, and prepared to turn this study upside down, the ghost knows if Tang Da has the habit of recording bribery, if his name appears on those records, he will really become a traitor of fornication and secret association.

But strangely, when he searched through the little study, he still couldn't find anything useful.

Businessmen like Tang He who like to bribe will always record the bribery information on a certain ledger, so that even if the bribery is revealed in the future, they can use the account book information in their hands to blackmail those officials who have received bribes, so that the other party can finally pull them again.

Copying the house is one of Qingluanwei's housekeeping skills, so Shen Chai is very familiar with this set, but he knocked on the floor and walls of this study, and he didn't find the existence of dark rooms, dark grids and the like, so he didn't find anything valuable at all.

When Shen Chai was rummaging through the cabinets in the study, I don't know if it was because of the influence of psychological factors, he always felt that he was staring at him by Tang Dana's dilated pupils because of death, which made him uncomfortable.

Shen Chai stopped the work of rummaging through the cabinets in his hand, turned around and looked at Tang Da's corpse again, only to see that there was already a patch-like cloudiness near the whites of Tang Da's eyes, and the whole pair of eyes seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gray mist, which made this corpse even more weird.

This proves that Tenda had died a few hours ago, otherwise the whites of the human eye would not have been cloudy.

Shen Chai sighed, although Tang Da was indeed a demon of the "Heavenly Court", and he was indeed involved in three disputes because of his affair with him, but after all, the dead were the greatest, and he should still let him close his eyes. As for putting the body down, it would be impossible, after all, he still had to protect the scene of the murder - although the study was now in chaos by himself.

Lifting up and straightening the kicked chair at Tang Da's feet, Shen Chai slowly stood on the chair and stretched out his hand to close Tang Da's eyes.

At this moment, he suddenly felt the chair under his feet shake violently, and under the unstable center of gravity, he fell directly from the chair and lay on the ground with a "bang".

Shen Chai grinned in pain, couldn't help but curse a few foul words in his mouth, and then put his hands on the ground, ready to get up from the ground.

What a bad day today!

Just as he was about to get up, an emerald green bamboo tube caught his eye, and Shen Chai looked at the chair that had fallen to the ground, finally figuring out where Tang Da was hiding these secret things.

The right front leg of the chair was a hollow hollow pillar that was hollowed out, and this bamboo tube was usually hidden in the chair leg, until today he stood on this chair, and the hollow column could not bear the weight, and finally broke, and the bamboo tube rolled out of the pillar.

Ignoring the pain in his body, Shen Chai quickly got up, reached out and picked up the bamboo tube on the ground, and carefully opened it.

There are not many things in the bamboo tube, only a small ledger that has been rolled up, the handwriting on it is not very beautiful, but the information recorded is extremely detailed.

This is the ledger that Tongda used to record bribes!

Shen Chai's heart was beating violently as if he wanted to jump out of his chest, and his hands kept moving, turning directly to the last page of the ledger and looking at the last record.

"Forty-three years of long-term vision, the seventeenth day of the first month, the knife board eats fasting, and the small banner of the hundred households in Longshu County chases Shen Nanhe, and bribes one hundred Taiping money." Sure enough, it was his record of Shen chasing and taking bribes!

Almost subconsciously, Shen Chai directly tore off the last page of the ledger, and then folded it twice indiscriminately and put it into his arms.

This kind of important physical evidence must not be found by Wu Haifu's guy, but now is not a good time to destroy the evidence, at least he has to wait until he gets out of the soup house before he does it.

Before he could hide the bamboo slip back in the leg of the chair, the door of the study was vigorously pushed open, and Li Sanxin and several small flag officials and general banners broke in in a hurry, and everyone's eyes were instantly attracted by Tang Da's corpse hanging on the roof beam, and many people were so shocked that they gasped.

Li Sanxin's eyes were extremely dark, and he "spitted" at the ground fiercely, kicked a small flag beside him to the ground, and asked in a cold tone: "Didn't you say that your team has been monitoring outside the soup house day and night?" Didn't you say that no one had been in or out of this soup house? You tell me why Townda died in his own home! ”

The unlucky little flag's face was pale, his whole body trembled like chaff, like a fool, and after being kicked down, he seemed to come back to his senses, immediately straightened up, knelt at Li Sanxin's feet, and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy: "Lord Mingjian!" Adults! As the brothers can testify, we have been keeping watch outside the mansion since yesterday, working in three shifts around the clock. Today's ...... Seven quarters! At that time, Tenda still appeared at the gate, and he was still alive and well at that time! I would never dare to lie about such a thing, and deceive you! ”

At that time, Shen Chaigang went to Liu Zongqizi to change the "thin tiger knife" under the leadership of the 100 households, and was about to report to Li Sanxin's signing room.

Li Sanxin heard Xiaoqi's defense, rewarded him again, and continued to scold: "The time of action is set at three quarters of the hour, and there is an interval of nearly seven hours between the seven quarters of the hour, and the surveillance object has not appeared again for so long, you didn't even think about reporting to the hundred households, I don't kick you to death as a waste!" ”

That little flag had nothing to say, so he could only keep kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Shen Chai watched Li Sanxin vent his anger wantonly and was silent, he actually understood Li Sanxin's gaffe very well. Li Sanxin was demoted by Shangguan Zhao Qianhu to the local hundred households on duty, his desire for meritorious service is extremely strong, and now he finally waited for a secret association case that can help him turn over, maybe he can use Tang Da as a breakthrough to wipe out the "Heavenly Court" demons in Longshu County, and he, Li Sanxin, can be transferred back to Luzhou Qianhu with this merit - even if it is a step further, it is not impossible to be promoted to a hundred households.

Unfortunately, now that Townda is dead, all this has become a pipe dream after all.

"Try the hundred households, we should arrest all the people in the soup house now, whether it is Tang Da's family members or servants and housekeepers, they should be brought back to the hundred households for strict interrogation, maybe we can also force some details of Tang Da's collusion with the 'Heavenly Court' demons from their mouths. If we're lucky enough, maybe we'll be able to dig out a few more thieves who have an affair with the 'Heavenly Court' from the soup house, and use these thieves as a breakthrough point, and we still have hope of exterminating the 'Heavenly Court'......."

Shen Chai's voice became smaller and smaller, because he found that Li Sanxin's face was getting more and more ugly, and the other Xiaoqi and Zongqi also had expressions of wanting to say something, not knowing what they wanted to say.

Li Sanxin turned his head, let out a sullen breath, stared at Shen Chai inexplicably, gritted his back molars, and said word by word: "Shen Nanhe, why do you think it took so long for this official to come to this study to see Tang Da's corpse?" ”

"The Tang family's thirteen members, plus a yellow dog, all fucking hanged themselves!"
