Chapter 2 Chivalry and courage help the weak

Childe was shocked and shouted that he had been wronged, and when the neighbors heard the cry, they all rushed to see him, but no one dared to speak for him.

"I was wronged, my father was killed by the gangsters, and I have alibi evidence. He tried to take out the medicine bottle in his arms to prove his innocence, but the officials did not give him time to defend himself, and escorted him to the yamen without saying anything.

From a distance, Red Scales, who was extremely impressed by Childe, did not intend to say goodbye to Childe, she quietly followed Childe all the way to Childe's dilapidated home.

She just wanted to muster up the courage to go in and find out what was going on, but then she found that something terrible had happened in Childe's house.

In order not to expose herself, Red Scale had to hide in the noisy crowd, when she saw Childe being captured by a group of servants, she was very anxious, she wanted to stop them from taking Childe, but she was worried that she would not be able to exert her spiritual power in public, so she had to be patient, wait for the opportunity, and then make plans.

After the servants carried away the body of Zimo's father, they escorted Zimo all the way to the Yamen.

In order to find the truth of the matter, Red Scales had the courage to sneak into Zimo's house to check after everyone left, and found that Gongzi's family was very poor, and there were fishing nets used by Daddy to dry in the courtyard, and there was no luxury item in the house except for simple tables, chairs, stools and daily necessities. It's just that the room where Childe lives is unusually tidy, with elegant orchids blooming on the windowsill and ink-scented books on the desk.

It is strange that an old man who fishes can cultivate a scholarly son who loves to read and has a unique temperament in his actions.

And what's even more bizarre than this is that the poor family has four walls, but someone breaks into the house and kills the elderly, I don't know what?

I'm afraid it's not as simple as money.

If not for money, then for what?, Red Scales pondered, but couldn't figure it out.

"No, this strange case, I am in charge, the top priority is to rescue Zimo from prison, followed by catching the perpetrator. I swore that no matter who it was, if I killed Childe's father, I would arrest him and let him pay for the old man's life. Red Scales slammed his hand on the desk where the scholar was studying, determined to rescue the scholar Zimo, who had only one side.

That night, Red Scales sneaked into the prison to find the imprisoned son, but accidentally ran into two jailers sneakily planning something, Red Scales hid his whereabouts, and carefully eavesdropped on the conversation between the two.

"There's an order from above, let's kill this scholar tonight"

"Hey, it's so pitiful, it doesn't look like a murderer at all, how can you do the murder of your father? ”

"Shhhh If we disobey, I'm afraid it will be the two of us who will die. "The older jailers, though they had good intentions, were obliged to do things against their will.

"Let's go, what are you grinding, don't wait until dawn, the blame from above will be in trouble. After the second jailer finished talking to each other, the old jailer urged to kill the scholar.

Red Scales had a keen sense of hearing, and hid far away in the shadows of the cell, gritting his teeth in anger when he heard these plots.

"These conscienceless things have taken people to prison without asking questions, and they are not tried, and they want to be executed privately. Hmph, don't think about it like this, if you meet this little fish spirit, you will not let the scholar fall into trouble when you see the road is uneven and draw a knife to help. ”

The little red carp followed the second jailer softly, accurately found the place where the scholar was being held, and then, while the two of them went to get the key to the door, and when they opened the door, she sneaked up on the back of the two of them from behind, knocking the two jailers to the ground.

The second jailer was unconscious, and the little fish spirit Red Scale took the opportunity to remove the key and open the cell door.

The scholar who was imprisoned in the prison heard the movement and woke up from his sleep in a daze, but he unexpectedly saw the fisherwoman he saw during the day, knocking down the two jailers, opening the door and breaking into his cell, and was so frightened that he wanted to scream out loud.

"Shhhhh Red Scales put her fingers between her mouth, whispered to stop Childe's screaming, and then walked into the cell, grabbed Childe's sleeve, and tried to get him out of the cell and escape.

"Red-scaled girl, by all means, you want me to escape from prison without permission, this is a crime of killing your head, I can't go with you. "The scholar is a simple man, he didn't listen to the persuasion of the little fish spirit, he wanted to stay stubbornly in the cell and wait for the fate.

"Zimo Gongzi, you listen to me, you do this, it will be useless, if I hadn't arrived in time just now, I'm afraid that even you would have died easily, don't you want to find out who killed your old father? Now that the real murderer is at large, he will definitely arrest you as a scapegoat to confess his guilt, and if you stay here, people will only treat you as fish and meat and slaughter you at will. Follow me out, and I promise you that you will help you find your father-killer. ”

Seeing that Red Scale's words were earnest and reasonable, Childe had no choice but to straighten his clothes and follow Red Scale out of the prison.

"Okay, I'll go with you, but there are many eyes and ears in this cell, and the two of us can escape smoothly in full view?" Zi Mo looked at Red Scales in confusion.

"You are underestimating this girl's housekeeping skills. Redscals smiled playfully, took out a smoke-like object from his bosom, lit it with fire, and shook it around.

Smelling the smell of smoke, Zi Mo's legs weakened and he almost fell, but the red scales quickly smeared a cool medicine between his noses, which made him sober up again.

At this time, Zi Mo looked around, only to find that in the dim cell, the people in each prison were sleeping soundly, and the officers in charge of patrolling also fell to the ground one after another, unconscious.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Red Scale asked Childe to follow her appearance, covered his face with a black cloth, and swaggered out of the prison together.

The two of them got out of prison, and Red Scale wanted to take Gongzi to hide in the Dongting Lake Aquarium Palace where he lived for a while, but Gongzi was bent on rushing back to his dilapidated home to find something important.

"Lady Redscale, I can't go with you, I must rush back to my own house to get something important. ”

"Let's hide for a while, and then it's not too late to go back to get it, Childe, your home has now become the scene of the murder, I guess the gate has been sealed now, even if we go back, we won't be able to enter." Red Scales kindly reminded him.

"No, even if the courtyard gate is sealed, I still have to enter the courtyard wall, and I have important items to retrieve. It's too late, I'm afraid that someone will steal it. ”

Seeing that the son was stubborn, Red Scales had no choice but to nod and agree to accompany Zimo to the house to pick up important items.

It's just that on the way to walk, Red Scales was thinking all the way, this son's family is surrounded by four walls, and there are still some valuable things to be taken, even if he goes to get it, it is estimated that it will be a little late, I am afraid that he will be stolen in advance by the enemy who killed his father. It seems that the murder case is not as simple as I imagined.

Childe's father's death must have something to do with this important thing.

Red Scale and Childe hurried all the way, and on the way they deftly avoided the guards who were guarding the guard, and finally came to Childe's door safely.

I just came to the door of the son's house, and when I saw it, the door was indeed affixed with the seal of the official family, and it was inconvenient to enter.

Red Scale had no choice but to pull the placket of the child's clothes and quietly walked around to the back of the courtyard wall, preparing to climb over the wall from a big tree that grew against the courtyard wall.

Childe tidied up his clothes, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to climb the tree, and Red Scale couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw that he was graceful during the day, but tonight he fought like a fisherman who went out to sea to fish.

Worried that Childe would accidentally fall off the wall, Red Scale gently grabbed Childe's wrist, recited a decision in his mouth, and took Childe over the courtyard wall easily and came to the courtyard.

The boy couldn't help but be frightened when he saw that Red Scales had such a skill, he knelt down in front of Red Scales, trembling and said to forgiveness, "Please forgive Xiaosheng for being stupid and having eyes and not knowing the fairy sister, and please forgive the fairy sister for her reckless behavior." ”
