Chapter 80: The Old Cow Is Dead (1)
"Yes. ”
The three tall and thin officials received the order, and in response, they walked towards Yu Kite.
Several people laughed very obscenely, and their hands rubbed between their palms dishonestly.
On the side, Ye Qingzhi's eyebrows and eyes were very light, he had always been like this, except for Yu Kite and Ah Yuan, few people had seen through his thoughts.
After waiting for the official to take two steps before he was about to grab Yu Kite, Ye Qingzhi suddenly raised his hand and said, "Ten days." ”
The city government is humane: "Ten days, what ten days?"
Ye Qingzhi said: "Ten days, give us ten days, and the murderer will definitely be found out by the city lord." ”
Lord Chengfu sneered and said: "Ten days, this woman is the murderer, what do you need for ten days." ”
Ye Qingzhi squinted his eyes slightly: "There is no evidence to say that the murderer is my kite, when did this world become like this." ”
Yi Yu said: "Lord Chengfu still doesn't need you to talk nonsense. ”
Ye Qingzhi turned to look at Yi Fei and said, "City Lord, wait for me to say a few words, and it's not too late for you to make a judgment." ”
"What do you say you want to say?"
Ye Qingzhi smiled slightly, and said: "It's better not to let others listen to this matter, since it's a private matter, it is for the city lord to listen to." ”
Although he didn't know what Ye Qingzhi said or what he had to say, for some reason, Yi Fei's heart tightened in vain and believed Ye Qingzhi's words.
He took two steps forward and reprimanded: "The city government is here, what can only be said by me alone, what I say is, I am doing it straight, there is nothing unseemly." ”
Because the city government was not too autonomous in the past, he stopped here, and he didn't say anything about what Ye Qingzhi said, it was too eye-catching, Yi Fei was not stupid, and he thought more thoughtfully than anyone else.
Ye Qingzhi silently said to him with his lips, and no one could see the shape of the two lips clearly, but it made Yi Fei's face change.
After a while, I heard Yi Fei say to the city government: "My lord, Yi Fei feels that there are many doubts about this matter, no matter how capable this woman is, she is just a woman, how can she have so much strength to drag the old cow into the bathtub and poison her to death, and why did she throw the old cow's body into the neighbor's house, there are many unreasonable originals after careful calculation." ”
Lord Chengfu said curiously: "City Lord, you didn't say that. ”
Yi Fei smiled embarrassedly and said, "Because Lao Niu was killed after attending my banquet, and he was indeed a little unhappy with this woman last night, he came to a conclusion prematurely. ”
A trace of unhappiness flashed on the face of the Lord of the City Mansion, and Yi Fei's reversal made him lose face in front of him, so he felt that Yi Fei was playing with him, and his tone was not as friendly as before: "Then what do you mean?"
Yi Fei said with a stiff face: "These two people are the most suspicious even if they are not murderers, Yi Fei wants to send someone to monitor the left and right, so as not to interfere with the two." ”
The Lord of the City Mansion flicked his sleeves, looked at the three people who were kneeling in the audience until now, and said, "You three, what are the contradictions between the three of you and Lao Niu's life?"
The three of them were already frightened when they heard this, and they were even more frightened when they heard Yi Fei speak for Yu Kite and rank him out of the murderer, after all, Yu Kite is not a little more, and the possibility of the three of them is greater.
A taller man kowtowed timidly, and said: "Grass people Wang San, a few days ago, I had a conflict with Lao Niu Xin to buy vegetables, Lao Niu bought my mother-in-law's vegetables and said that my mother-in-law was short of catties and two, but it was just some trivial things, and there was no aftermath after two quarrels, grass people, grass people will never kill the old cow." ”
This matter is not a big deal, don't talk about the city, and Yi Fei doesn't know.
Chengfu pointed to a slightly chubby man with a scar on his face and said, "You, what contradiction do you have with Lao Niu?"
The man said: "Caomin, last time Lao Niu came to my restaurant to drink, drank two bottles of good daughter Hong, not to mention, and finally when checking out, he didn't say that my wine was not right, and he added water, and most of the people who Lao Niu was in Lingcheng knew it, but this matter was not good for the reputation of my restaurant, so I didn't care about Lao Niu, and the two jars of daughters worked and confiscated his money." This matter is not a big deal, let alone to the point of killing the old cow, and please ask the adults to investigate. ”
The third is an ordinary-looking person, with his back bent, looking cowardly and timid, he shook his arms twice and raised his hand, and his voice was a little smaller than that of the other two: "Liu Si, a grass farmer, lives on two acres of land, a few days ago, the old cow trampled on half of my wheat, and my mother-in-law quarreled with him a few words, and the rest was gone." ”
After hearing this, Lord Chengfu nodded slightly, and said, "This official will send someone to investigate what you said, and you will know if it is true or false." ”
It is true that these things are small enough, so small that the city lord does not know, and Lao Niu's evil deeds seem to have never reached the ears of the city government, which shows that these people are quite accustomed to Lao Niu's behavior.
Yu Kite observed the three of them for a while, and she was surprised to find that the three of them looked at each other, and then dispersed as if nothing had happened, as if they were extremely relieved and relieved.
Then the lord of the city government put Yu Kite and a few people home, and also sent people to observe the back, but Yu Kite thought that if someone wanted to hide from the city government, it was extremely simple to do something, just like her, just find a reason to sleep, go to the toilet or something to avoid the tracking of the city government.
With this, Yu Yuan felt that this matter was a little strange.
When several people were separated, Yu Kite happened to hear Wang Sandao: "Have you two seen the appearance of Lao Niu when he died, hey, it's really miserable, his whole face is blue and white, and I don't know what poison he was in, and he died so miserably." ”
The other two shook their heads, and Liu Si said: "Although Lao Niu is a little more afraid of good and evil on weekdays, he has not been hated to the point of drowning and poisoning to death. ”
Yu Kite quietly approached and said with a smile: "Three, where is the corpse of the old cow now?"
The three of them were silent, obviously not wanting to talk more to Yu Kite.
Yu Yuan expected this, so he pointed to Ye Qingzhi again: "My father-in-law knows a little about how to do things, and everyone is more or less involved in this matter, so I want to make some efforts with my father-in-law, and besides, it is good for everyone to get up early to investigate clearly." ”
With that, the three of them relaxed their vigilance slightly, and the slightly chubby man glanced at Yu Kite and said, "That old cow was really not killed by the two of you?"
Yu Kite said: "You see, my father-in-law and I have just arrived, how could we kill someone because of that misunderstanding yesterday. ”
Wang San said: "Seeing that you two are not bad people, this matter is also a little strange, the three of us are the closest to Lao Niu, and we know each other's roots, Lao Niu is not a fat brother, Liu Si killed, who is it, there seems to be no suspicious person in the entire Suoling City." ”
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and the three people from the city government investigation office were all very close to the old cow, one was next to the old cow's carcass, and the other two were in the south, and the houses were set up in a row.
It was as if there was a thread that pulled the whole thing, but the thread was too short and too thin to grasp and capture.
Yu Kite thought for a while, but couldn't think of a reason: "Is Lao Niu's body in the yamen or at home?" ”
Liu Si whispered: "The city lord's family, there is no one else in the old Niu family, so the yamen put his body in the city lord's house. ”
They dispersed separately, and they were almost at the inn, thinking of Yi Fei's change of attitude in the lobby, Yu Yuan asked, "What did you say to Yi Fei that made him suddenly change his mind?"
If the Tang Yifei insisted that the old cow was killed by her, the matter would be a bit difficult to do, which she had wanted to ask for a long time, but she had just walked with those three people, and she had never had a chance to ask.
Ye Qingzhi looked down at Yu Yuan's chest and said, "This matter is thanks to Ah Yuan." ”
Yu Yuan smiled: "What's the matter with Guan Ayuan?"
Ye Qingzhi said: "At that time, we only noticed that the so-called Seven Garden Spirits were made by living babies, but we didn't notice where the demonic energy that came from when we entered the door. ”
"You mean the demonic energy comes from Yi Fei?"
"Half, demonic half, and the other, I think Yi Fei knows that the Seven Gardens Spirit is a baby. ”
Yu Kite raised her eyebrows and said, "How can you see it?"
Ye Qingzhi slowed down for a while: "If it is true that the Seven Garden Spirits are divided according to Yi Fei's people, they should be placed in front of everyone to show off, but what Yi Fei did was just to let everyone look at it and put it away, as if he didn't want outsiders to see it." ”
Yu Yuan paused, touched his chin with one hand, and said, "Speaking of this, I also think it's quite strange. ”
Turned around: "Is the leaf going to ask about the baby?"
Ye Qingzhi hugged Yu Kite's waist and said with a smile: "Is Kite wishing?"
Yu Yuan said: "Of course, I want to know who did such a thing with such a conscience. ”
Ye Qingzhi's smile deepened a little, touched Yu Kite's hair, and smiled.
When he arrived at the inn, Jiang Lan was already in a hurry, and he didn't know how many times he paced back and forth in the strange little room.
After hearing the laughter of Yu Kite outside, Jiang Lan suddenly got up soberly.
"Shame, shame, but shame. ”
But because he was in a hurry to walk again, he almost hit the table and chair and fell, but he was able to stabilize his body thanks to the quick action of the fire lowering and holding it.
Outside, Yu Kite opened the door and entered, squinting his eyes and said, "It's me, it's me, Lan'er, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Lan touched it up and down, and only after confirming that Yu Yuan was okay did he breathe a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Yu Yuan smiled: "Lan'er, what are you thinking, what can I do." ”
Jiang Mian said: "You and Qingzun were taken away by the people of the government in the early morning, my sister is in a hurry until now, no one will listen to what they say, I have to wait for the two of you to come back." ”
Seeing Jiang Lan's brows that had not yet fully stretched, Yu Yuan sighed slightly and propped him up on the chair: "Lan'er is too worried, I won't be fine with leaves, Lan'er has to take care of herself, she has lost a lot of weight during this time, worry about this, worry about that, do you want your body anymore." ”
Jiang Lan covered his lips and smiled, and said, "I'm fine, but you and Jiang Mian, the youngest, as the eldest sister, I don't have to worry about you in everything." ”
Yu Yuan glanced at Jiang Mian with disgust, and said, "Lan'er, how can you compare me with Jiang Mian, obviously I am much better than him." ”
