Chapter 5 The Law of Compromise
Zhu Jiaduan's words, Huang Donglai and they didn't fully understand.
Because they didn't know the news that Zheng Mukai was dead.
Although Zheng Mukai's body was found in the alley behind this inn, it was the middle of the night, and it was impossible for the people who came to handle the case to stand in the alley and shout "There are dead people here" to tell the world.
Moreover, the people of the government had not intended to investigate this matter in depth from the beginning, and if they wanted to investigate, they would have already gone to this inn and knocked on the door of each guest to ask long and short questions.
Now the ordinary people in the city who know about the killing of Zheng Mukai and the two executioners of the Guangxing Dart Bureau are concentrated in the west side of the city, because the two bodies over there were found in the guest room of the inn, and Zheng Mukai and the three of them stayed in that inn, so at least the shopkeeper over there had to be questioned.
"Senior Zhu. Huang Donglai was afraid that Lei Buji would suffer a loss for talking nonsense, so he hurriedly responded before Buji spoke, "What do you say...... Why don't we understand it?"
"Don't understand?" Zhu Jiaduan almost squeezed these three words out from between his teeth, "Hmph...... Okay, if you want to fill it with garlic, I'll pick it out for you. He paused for half a second, and then said, "I ask you, my apprentice...... Zheng Mukai, the big dart head of my Guangxing Dart Bureau, and our two executioners, did you kill them?"
"Huh?" the three people at the table gave the same reaction almost at the same second.
After a breath, it was Huang Donglai who spoke first, and asked with a suspicious face, "Brother Zheng...... He's dead?"
Zhu Jiaduan was also slightly stunned when he saw that they were actually this kind of reaction, but then he thought again: I'm afraid that these three people have already guessed that I will come, so they are acting for me after stringing up the words, right?
Thinking of this, he was angry again, and shouted: "Bah! What Brother Zheng? Who is your eldest brother? Do you think I don't know? The three of you were openly dismissing my apprentice in a restaurant in the city the day before yesterday, but he was hit on the spot, and I can only admit your mistake and punish yourself; I think ...... That's why you hold a grudge and kill him that night!"
As soon as he said this, the three of them finally understood what was going on.
"Mao!" Sun Yixiang really can't help it now, pretending to be a grandson also depends on the situation, and when you should use your true colors, you should use your true colors, "If you don't come and tell us, we don't know that the surname Zheng is dead, damn a chicken...... You don't spew blood on me! Say we killed you, do you have any proof?"
After all, he really didn't kill, so his attitude is also tough.
When Zhu Jiaduan heard this, he said in his heart: "Okay, this kid was exposed by me and started to be angry." ”
So, on the spot, he threw the logical chain and reasoning he had sorted out based on the existing intelligence on the faces of Sun Huang and Lei Buji, and after finishing speaking, he added with confidence: "How is it? What else do you have to say?"
If he doesn't ask that, forget it.
Since he asked, then he must have ushered in the following sentence......
"Are you mentally retarded?" Huang Donglai was about to be amused by Zhu Jiaduan, and he no longer said anything polite, and said directly, "Don't you think that there are doubts and loopholes in your inference?"
"What?" Zhu Jiaduan didn't understand what "mentally handicapped" was, so he didn't react to being scolded for a while, but asked, "Loopholes? Where are the loopholes? ”
Huang Donglai laughed dryly: "Huh...... First of all, Lao Tzu is the young master of the Yellow Gate, if I really want to kill Zheng Mukai, is it necessary to start fighting him? Isn't it okay to poison him?" he paused, "It's not me who blows, if I want to poison him, unless you can invite my father, no one will be able to detect that he was poisoned." ”
Just this first sentence, Zhu Jia stopped asking.
But before he could respond, Huang Donglai continued: "Secondly, the body was found at the end of the day, and whether it was the work of the government or the one you invited yourself, the time of death they found out was the first hour of the hour;
Zhu Jiaduan really didn't expect to be so meticulous, so he asked now: "Then let me ask you, what were you doing at that time?"
"Take a bath. ”
". ”
"Sleep. ”
The above are the answers of Sun Yihui, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji.
What they said was also the truth, they had just arrived in Xuzhou City that day, and it was rare to be able to live in a big inn in the city instead of a post house on the side of the road, Sun Yihui wanted to take a good bath; Huang Donglai came to eat, and everyone knew that he had eaten too many crabs during the day, and everyone knew that he had a bad stomach; Lei Buji had never woken up at all since he drank it at dinner, and he was still carried back by Sun and Huang when he returned to the inn.
"Hmph!" Zhu Jiaduan snorted coldly after listening to their answers, "Doesn't that mean that no one can testify for you?"
"Leave us alone. Huang Donglai said, "Where did your apprentice go during that time is the focus of the whole case, in my opinion, he must have done something in that hour, which brought death to himself and his two brothers." ”
"There is no proof of death now...... Of course you say that in order to excuse yourself. Zhu Jiaduan still didn't give up, "Then how do you explain that the three of them all died under the 'Five Thunder Piercing Heart Fist'? and...... Why is my child's body in the back alley of your inn?"
"I'll interject......" Lei Buji suddenly said at this time, "Since Senior Zhu has guessed who my father is, I will no longer hide it, that's right, my father is the 'Eight Desolation Fist Saint', but I tell the truth...... 'Five Thunder Piercing Heart Fist', I just know that I have never learned it, and my father will not teach me this kind of ruthless kung fu that will take people's lives as soon as he makes a move." ”
Before his words fell, Zhu Jiaduan's group of disciples didn't know which one didn't open his eyes, and said in a voice that was not too loud, but everyone could hear it: "Huh...... When death comes, even if you will, you will lie that you won't. ”
Smack-
Lei Buji was angry at that time, and as soon as he slapped the table, he jumped up and yelled at the man, "What did you say?"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed the man by the collar.
Not to be outdone, he had his hand on the knife, ready to meet him at any moment.
The distance between the two was not far away, and they were about to meet each other in a short manner, but fortunately, Sun Yihuan stepped forward in time and stopped Lei Buji: "Calm down!
Brother Sun said calmly, and at the same time, he used the posture of blocking people as a cover, and took advantage of the situation to make a move to the side and rear, "Flying Dragon Swinging Tail", and kicked the Guangxing Dart Bureau disciple who spoke just now with a slap of the yin leg.
After kicking him, he turned back to the disciples of the dart game and said, "Don't say a word! It's all a misunderstanding~ Everyone take a step back!"
The buddies who were kicked were also careless for a while, he was choking on fire with Lei Buji, staring at each other and staring at each other, and he didn't regard Sun Yihong, who stepped forward to "persuade the fight", as a threat, who knew that this thing pretended to persuade the fight was actually an unprepared attack and walked the next three ways.
As a result, after Sun Yihuan's involvement, the people on the other side of the dart bureau were even more useless, and a group of people were ready to draw their knives.
"Stop!" Zhu Jiaduan saw the chaos of the disciples, and shouted on the spot, "Are the ruffians fighting?
In the end, it is the palm of a faction, this kind of bearing is still there, Zhu Jiaduan's head drink, and successfully prevented these dart masters of the Guangxing Dart Bureau from being brought into the rhythm of the fish market by Sun Yihuan.
When the commotion stopped, Zhu Jia sank and said to the three people in front of him again: "I don't care what excuses you make now, how many doubts can you say...... Anyway, for now, I'm dead...... The three of you are the most suspicious, and you can't prove that you have nothing to do with this matter, especially Lei Buji, whether you will 'Five Thunder Piercing Heart Fist' is only known to you, and we can't ask your father for a while, and then take a step back...... It is not uncommon for you to hide from Sun Yihe and Huang Donglai, sneak out alone when you are in trouble, and have a conflict with me......
"Then what do you want?" Lei Buji was not polite to the other party, and asked bluntly.
"You go back with us first. Zhu Jia replied, "Before the matter is cleared, I won't embarrass you, but you can't leave either." ”
"What?" said Lei Buji, "If you want me to go with you without any evidence?"
What do you say...... Zhu Jiaduan doesn't like to listen to it, no matter how he says it, he is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, and he feels that he is now in charge and has made certain concessions, if he is so jealous, why is he not a thief?
This kind of thinking, which seems to us modern people to be similar to the logic of bandits and goes against the spirit of the legal system, was the norm in the rivers and lakes of that era.
The powerful and powerful side, as long as it does not disregard human life, can already be regarded as "fairness" and "concessions"; while the weak are not qualified to talk about human rights, to put it mildly, even if you are killed or killed by mistake, the side that kills you in the end will only be fined three glasses of wine...... That's it, it's also very rare, because most people don't even punish these three cups, and the other party won't admit their mistake at all, and they won't mention it again.
Today, Zhu Jiaduan can say things like "find things out again", firstly because he is not too bad, and secondly, because he sees the face of the Eight Desolation Fist Saints.
Although Zhu Jiaduan felt that revenge was justified, considering that Lei Buji's father was the kind of person who could single-handedly destroy him and make a lot of darts in his game, he naturally had to be cautious, at least to ensure that he didn't kill the wrong person.
If it is finally verified that Zheng Mukai and them were really killed by Lei Buji, then even if Lei Buwei comes, there is nothing to say, and the rules of the righteous path - such an unprovoked vendetta between the righteous path should be filled.
If his Eight Desolation Fist Saint went to seek revenge because of his son's murder, the Guangxing Dart Bureau could openly ask all other martial arts colleagues to uphold justice...... Of course, whether people come or not, or whether they have to open some conditions to come, is another matter.
"How can this be reasonable!" Zhu Jiaduan saw that his "forbearance" was rejected, and his face was a little unbearable, "I have repeatedly backed down, and promised to deal with it impartially, if you have a clear conscience, why be afraid?" I think ...... You killed people! If you don't follow me, you just want to run, right?"
"Okay! Don't get excited! Listen to me say a fair word!" At this moment, Sun Yihe shouted loudly, and then put forward a "compromise" proposal with "fair words" as a citation.
............
In the afternoon of the same day, after Lei Buji settled in the prison at the entrance of the yamen, Sun and Huang returned to the inn.
Sun Yihuan's previous suggestion was to take Lei Buji as a suspect in the murder case and hand it over to the yamen guards until they found out the real murderer.
And the guarantors of this matter are Sun Yixiang and Huang Donglai, as well as the Dashu Imperial Court, which was "represented" by them for some reason; ”
His idea not only ensured that Lei Buji would not fall into the hands of the people of the Guangxing Dart Bureau, but also restricted his freedom in form, which was considered a double reality.
Because it was arranged by the "big brother", Lei Buji naturally agreed.
Zhu Jiaduan pondered for a while, it's okay, if the person is really in his own hands, then he has to find someone to guard him day and night, eat, drink and serve Lazar, and now he can save his worries when he sends it to the yamen.
But in fact, the difference between the two is quite big......
If Lei Buji falls into the hands of the gang in the Guangxing Dart Bureau, even if he is not tortured, he will definitely not get a good face, and he will give you some porridge and white porridge every day, and maybe spit in your pickles or something, it is possible.
But when I entered the yamen prison, it was much more comfortable.
As mentioned earlier, Sun Yihe and Huang Donglai are now "acting cheaply" on the side of the government, no matter what they want to do, they have to cooperate a little; even the magistrates in Xuzhou have to respect them a little, and it is not a problem to arrange a VIP P-level prison in the prison.
In addition, they also asked Dong Wan, the head catcher, to mobilize the arresters in the city as soon as possible to help them find out the information......
Jianghu affairs, the government "generally" does not care, but in special circumstances, such as when there are people who can order you and ask your low-level people to take care of it, then you have to take care of it.
Around the end of the evening, Dong Wan came to the Chengdong Inn and informed Sun Yihuan and Huang Donglai in detail of all the information about the case that had been collected so far.
After all, they are specialized in criminal investigation, and they are much better at investigating the facts of the case than those in the Guangxing Dart Bureau; the things they ask are different in direction from those who only want to "seek revenge," and the content is more and more far-reaching, and it is easier to restore the whole picture of the case.
To make a long story short, after gathering and deducing that information, they found that there was a place that was likely to be related to Zheng Mukai's death and the duel between him and Ge Shi in the first place.
That place is the most famous green building in Xuzhou City - Seven Willows Secluded Place.
As the saying goes, the iron should be struck while it is hot, Sun Yihe and Huang Donglai bathed and changed their clothes that night, and they both changed into a rich boy's painting style of clothes, wanting to go to the land of fireworks...... Check it out!
