Inside the firewood room.

The little girl was grumbling with hunger, but she was still eating and chewing slowly.

Chen Tang asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Knowing."

The little girl responded.

This name doesn't look like an ordinary person, what a second girl, a dog or something.

Chen Tang asked again: "Do you remember where your home is?"

"It seems to be in the south, you have to go a long way, and you have to cross a very wide river to get there, there are mountains and rivers over there, and the climate is also very warm, not like this side."

The little girl thought hard for a long time, looked a little confused, shook her head and said, "I can't remember the rest." ”

Chen Tang temporarily dismissed the idea of helping her find a home.

Such vague information, let alone the present, even in the previous life, the information exploded, and the transportation was convenient, and there was no way to start.

Chen Tang didn't leave in a hurry, just watched the little girl eat from the side.

If the little girl can't finish eating, he has to take the rest of the food with him, leaving nothing behind.

After a long time, Chen Tang realized that he was too worried.

Zhiwei eats very slowly and carefully, and after eating a piece of chicken, he has to lick the fat on his fingertips.

But she didn't gnaw the chicken bones very cleanly, and each one had a little meat left on it, and then fed it to the yellow dog next to her.

It didn't take long for most of the roast chicken to be eaten by Zhiwei.

The remaining chicken bones were eaten by the yellow dog.

Several steamed buns were also filled into the stomach by one person and one dog.

The scene was clean, if it weren't for Zhiwei's obstruction, the oiled paper wrapped in roast chicken almost let the yellow dog lick it into its stomach.

"Brother Tang, thank you, we haven't eaten such a good thing for a long time, and we have eaten so much."

Zhiwei smiled happily and bent his eyes, his face was red and swollen, but his eyes were full of clarity and innocence.

The yellow dog was quite human, and seemed to be a little accustomed to the smell of Chen Tang's body, and came to him with his tongue out, his tail wagged, and he was very happy, as if he regarded Chen Tang as the second owner.

Chen Tang stroked it twice, looked at Zhiwei again, and said in a deep voice: "There are some things, I have to tell you." ”

Seeing Chen Tang's serious expression, Zhiwei hurriedly put away his smile and showed a look of listening carefully.

Chen Tang said: "I can't take you away tonight, the situation here may be discovered tomorrow, and when the time comes, there will definitely be a head catcher coming to you for questioning." ”

"You don't have to worry about what happened today, what you heard at night, just tell the truth. But we've never seen that tonight, understand? ”

If you only tell a lie, it is easy to expose flaws.

Only true and false can get away with confusion and not arouse too much suspicion.

Zhiwei nodded.

After a moment of silence, Zhiwei said: "Brother Tang, don't worry, I won't drag you down, and Xiao Huang and I can survive." ”

She knew that if she followed Chen Tang, she would only affect Chen Tang, so she said this.

Zhiwei thought about it for a while, and then said: "I heard that Wu'an County is honest and honest, and he is a good official. After getting out this time, Xiao Huang and I went to Wu'an County to sue the official, and asked the county guard to severely punish the people of the Black Water Gang, and give Brother Tang justice. ”

"Don't go."

Chen Tang hurriedly persuaded him.

Zhiwei is too young after all, and he is still a little naïve.

Chen Tang said: "Then Wu'an County is more than two hundred miles away from here, and it is freezing outside, how can you walk over?" What's more, the Blackwater Gang is extremely powerful, and it is useless for you to go to Wu'an County. ”

"Is that all there is to it?" Zhiwei asked.

"You don't have to worry about it."

Chen Tang said: "I will end this matter in the way of rivers and lakes." ”

"The way of the rivers and lakes?"

Zhiwei doesn't understand much.

Chen Tang didn't explain to her either.

The affairs of officialdom have always been troublesome, officials protect each other, officials and businessmen collude, various forces wrestle in secret, there are people outside the people, and there are officials behind the officials.

After such a wrestling, I don't know how long it will drag, and in the end, it is likely to be over.

Even if the Wu'an County Shou is a good official and upright, most of them are weak and involuntarily.

And during this time, the person who sued the official was always exposed to danger and could die violently at any time!

It's too abrasive, it's not painful enough, and it won't solve the problem.

Chen Tang doesn't recognize the powerful, and he has no background.

He only has one knife!

The way of rivers and lakes is much simpler and more direct.

As long as you have enough strength and high enough martial arts, find the enemy and cut it down with one sword, no matter if you are a county commander or a young gang leader, you will die on the spot!

The puppet was furious, and the blood was splattered in five steps!

Chen Tang said a few more words, and just about to get up, he couldn't help but laugh when he saw the oily corners of Zhiwei's mouth.

He stepped forward, stretched out his sleeve, and gently wiped the grease off the corner of Zhiwei's mouth.

He rubbed Zhiwei's little hand again and wiped it clean.

During the whole process, Zhiwei did not dodge.

Just smiling, she had complete trust in Chen Tang in her heart.

Chen Tang stuffed the oil paper into his arms, looked around, and left no flaws, before turning to leave.

It wasn't long before he returned home.

Pushing open the door, the fat old man and Qing Mu didn't sleep, sitting at the table drinking hot tea, and the fire in the room had already risen.

"My brother is back."

Qing Mu said with a smile.

The fat old man nodded at him as well, smiling.

Chen Tang was slightly stunned.

What happened to these two?

During the day, he still ignored him, but at night, he became enthusiastic again?

"Aren't you two sleeping so late?"

Chen Tang asked.

"I'm waiting for you."

Qing Mu smiled: "Where did my brother go so late, why did he come back?" ”

"I'm going to the kiln."

Chen Tang said casually.

Qing Mu snickered in her heart.

Her younger brother is really special, he obviously went to save people, but he was full of nonsense and didn't care about his reputation.

"Went to sleep."

Chen Tang muttered, came to the stove, lay on his cotton mattress, and said, "You should also go to bed early, stay up late every day, and be careful of sudden death." ”

……

Day 2.

The yamen of the county government.

Early in the morning, not long after Meng Liangyu got up, he was practicing knives in the courtyard of his residence, and his catchers hurriedly ran in.

"Meng Tou, there was a murder last night, and three people died! One of them is the protector of the Evil Wolf Gang, leopard Li Tao! ”

The catcher said in a deep voice.

"Dead again?"

Meng Liangyu frowned.

The arrester quickly told the location of the crime and what he saw.

"Leopard Li Tao, Xu family?"

Meng Liangyu's expression moved, as if she thought of something, and asked, "Is there a young maid in this Xu family?" ”

"Yes."

Catch quickly replied: "But it is definitely not this servant girl who did it, I took a look, the servant girl was beaten by this family and her nose and face were swollen, and she was shackled and locked in the firewood room, and there was no way to get out." ”

"This case looks more like Li Tao's burglary, which led to murder due to the exposure of his whereabouts."

This catcher quickly said his own speculation.

Meng Liangyu disagreed.

How could the protector of the Evil Wolf Gang be short of money to the point of burglary.

Most of this matter has other hidden meanings.

Maybe it's revenge, or whatever.

It's just that he didn't see the scene, so it's hard to judge.

"Let's go."

Meng Liangyu said: "Let's go over and have a look." ”
