Chapter 35: If I'm not mistaken
This yellow dog, of course, is not self-cooked, nor is it close to anyone.
Chen Tang knows this.
He believed that the head catcher in front of him also knew about it.
The words of the head catcher just now were not a joke.
The other party is already suspicious!
But this person didn't break it, just laughed and laughed.
Chen Tang naturally didn't take the initiative to admit it, and also smiled.
"Why did you ask me to adopt her?"
Chen Tang said: "You have also seen the situation in my family, it can be called poor, and I can only barely make ends meet and make a living. ”
Meng Liangyu said with a smile: "How much she can eat as a little girl is nothing more than a matter of multiple pairs of dishes and chopsticks." She was originally a maid in someone else's house, she knew how to serve people, and when she came to you, she could also help you do some work and take care of the old man in your family. ”
Then, Meng Liangyu looked back at Zhiwei and said, "You are still working neatly, right?" ”
Hearing this, Zhiwei nodded hurriedly and said, "I can do anything, laundry and cooking." ”
"That's very good."
The fat old man's voice came, complaining: "There is a shortage of cooks in the family, and these days, the old man's mouth is almost tasteless." None of you two juniors can cook. ”
Chen Tang still didn't let go, and asked again: "Since there has been a murder, this girl should be the key to it, and it doesn't seem appropriate to put it here for me." ”
"The murder is over."
Meng Liangyu waved his hand and said casually.
"Oh?"
Chen Tang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't it happen last night, and the case has been closed?" ”
"Hmm."
Meng Liangyu said: "This case is not complicated, a person from the Evil Wolf Gang went to someone else's house to steal, his deeds were exposed, and he committed murder, but he was killed and died with the two members of the main family." ”
Hearing this, the fast catcher behind him breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at the little friend next to him with some pride.
I'm right, that's it.
Chen Tang pondered for a moment and said, "Since the case has been closed, it doesn't hurt for this little girl to stay in my house." ”
"Okay, that's fine, excuse me."
Meng Liangyu smiled, hugged her fists towards Chen Tang, looked at the fat old man and Qing Mu, and said loudly: "The old man should pay more attention to his body, when he is old, don't climb high and low." ”
The fat old man's face turned red.
Damn, hurry up with me?
If it was usual, he didn't bother to take care of it.
Now that he wants to accept Chen Tang as an apprentice, he can't lose face.
The fat old man pondered whether to teach this little catcher a lesson, and by the way, he showed his hand in front of Chen Tang.
Qing Mu saw the fat old man's thoughts, secretly snickered, pressed the master's arm, and shook his head with a smile.
Meng Liangyu handed over Zhiwei and the yellow dog to Chen Tang, and then turned around and left with a few catchers, not staying here.
Chen Tang looked at the backs of a few people leaving, frowning slightly, thoughtfully.
He was a little confused about the headhunter's mind now.
The person had clearly seen the problem.
But it didn't break it, and handed it over to her.
And bluntly said that the case is closed.
What does this person want?
A delaying tactic?
Stabilize them first, and then go back to the county government yamen to shake people?
"Brother Tang, are you worried that Meng Zhutou will come to find trouble?" Zhiwei seemed to see Chen Tang's worry, and asked tentatively.
The fat old man said proudly: "It's okay, even if all the people from the county government yamen come over, I can take you out of Changze County!" ”
Originally, he kept a low profile and hid it deeply.
Since he intended to accept Chen Tang as an apprentice, he has become a little impatient, looking for every opportunity to show off.
Chen Tang was still pondering, and he didn't care about the fat old man's words.
Zhiwei said: "I don't think Meng Zhutou should be this kind of person." ”
"Meng Zhutou?"
Chen Tang's heart moved, and he suddenly asked: "More than two months ago, after I was seriously injured, the head catcher who led people to confront the people of the Blackwater Gang is him, right?" ”
He had heard Mei Yingxue mention this matter once.
"Yes."
Zhiwei nodded hurriedly and said, "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been able to survive it." ”
"This guy is kind of funny."
Chen Tang secretly said in his heart and chased after him.
There are some things that you have to ask face-to-face to understand in order to rest assured.
"Meng Zhutou, please stay."
Chen Tang caught up and called softly.
Meng Liangyu seemed to have expected this scene a long time ago, and was not surprised, but just said hello to Tie Zhu and the others, asked them to go first, and stayed to chat with Chen Tang alone.
Chen Tang said: "Meng Zhutou, today's matter is tired. ”
"It's fine."
Meng Liangyu waved her hand, not caring at all.
Chen Tang asked, "Meng Zhutou hasn't answered just now, why did you hand her over to me?" ”
"I'm not at ease with handing it over to others."
Meng Liangyu smiled and said, "I may suffer a little if I follow you, but at least I won't suffer." With your heart, you will not be unkind to her. ”
After a pause, Meng Liangyu said again: "Actually, I have always paid attention to her affairs, and that family has abused her a lot, and it is even more common for her not to be fed." ”
"It's just that her identity is a servant girl after all, and my identity is the head catcher of the imperial court, according to the law of Qianguo, let alone just abuse, even if I beat that girl to death, I have no reason to interfere."
"Fortunately, there are still rivers and lakes, and there are some people in the rivers and lakes who are dripping with blood."
Having said that, there is no need to say more, both of them have already tacitly agreed.
"Meng Zhutou, thank you."
Chen Tang clasped his fists and thanked him with the gift of the rivers and lakes.
Meng Liangyu also smiled and returned the salute.
Then, he leaned over and whispered mysteriously: "Brother Chen, if I guessed correctly, it should be the uncle in your family who shot last night, right?" ”
"Uh......"
Chen Tang was speechless for a while.
How do you say that?
"Haha!"
Meng Liangyu saw that Chen Tang's expression was strange and seemed to be a little embarrassed, so he laughed out loud and said, "Actually, it is not difficult to deduce that there is a purple and green handprint on Li Tao's wrist, which shows that this person's cultivation is extremely high and his strength is very great. ”
"If the scope is locked in your home, you will be excluded first; Secondly, your cousin is a delicate beauty, and her cultivation does not seem to be weak, but the handprint belongs to a man. So, there is only one answer left. ”
Chen Tang couldn't help but ask, "Why did you exclude me in the first place?" ”
"Ugh."
Meng Liangyu patted Chen Tang on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Brother Chen, it's a blessing that you can survive. You can't do such a thing as killing, not to mention, it was a protector of the Evil Wolf Gang who died yesterday! ”
"I'll be stabbed to death with a knife, don't say it's you, if I were to do it, I might not be able to succeed."
"Hmm...... Reasonable. ”
Chen Tang could only nod.
Meng Liangyu said again: "If I guess correctly, those people who died in the Cui family a month ago were also from the hands of those two relatives in your family. ”
"Uh......"
Chen Tang fell silent again.
This time, they guessed at least half of it right.
Meng Liangyu was a little proud, and said, "Those two relatives of your family are well hidden, but it didn't take long for me to find out about them." But those people deserved to die, so I didn't continue to investigate this matter. ”
"Brother Chen, the methods of those two relatives of your family are indeed clever, and I am ashamed of myself. But once you make a move, you will leave clues, and these clues can be hidden from others, but not from me. ”
"If you have a chance, introduce me to them."
Actually, I don't know them very well.
Chen Tang muttered in his heart.
"If you have anything in the future, just come to the county government yamen to find me."
Meng Liangyu said a word and waved goodbye to Chen Tang.
