Chapter 172: Inquiring
The enemy has fallen from complacency to nothing, and the Liu family's revenge is about to be avenged. Liu Zhaoqing felt that this was really his happiest day in ten years.
Yun Xiufeng and his entourage began their return journey. After watching this excitement, the crowd by the river gradually dispersed.
Hu Chengli pondered on the spot for a while, and then he saw a person, and suddenly strode forward to stop: "Slow, I have something to ask you." ”
Duan Fang, who was accompanying Mei Jing, turned his eyes, and happened to see that he was stopping the villager who had just pointed the way, and a trace of fierceness suddenly flashed in his eyes.
But he immediately returned to normal, which was a small abnormality, and even Mei Jing beside him didn't notice it.
Hu Chengli was asking people: "Tell me everything you have seen." ”
Mei Jing was generous, and the villager was rewarded with three ingots of silver. While happily carrying the money into his pocket, he said: "That day, the sheep of the family escaped from the sheepfold again, and I came out in the dark to look for the sheep, and I happened to hear some strange noises by the bay, like someone shouting. I sneaked over and looked, there were two groups of people fighting, one group won, and the other group ran into the woods, and on the big rock on the beach sat an old man, who was the willow you had just captured, and there was a man standing beside him. ”
"Who else do you see?"
"There were a few people who ran away, and they were in the woods in the dark, and they couldn't see clearly. ”
Hu Chengli didn't give up: "Is there no one else? Have you seen a boy, about ten years old?" ”
"Boy?" the villager looked blank, "No. "Is this old boy evil, ask strange questions.
"Think again. Hu Chengli inspired him, "Or, have you seen a woman who is particularly good-looking?"
"No, no!" the man's question became more and more out of tune, and the villagers waved their hands repeatedly, "That's all I saw. ”
Hu Chengli could see that what he said was true, and he groaned at the moment, didn't Yan San help Liu Zhaoqing escape? If this is the case, this kid would have long since lost his head!
Alas. He sighed secretly, this clue that was finally won is about to be broken again?
He turned around to leave, and just as a thought crossed his mind, he added at the moment: "By the way, why did you remember to go to Liupei County to report to Chief Mei Feng?"
The villager scratched his head: "Ah, isn't she the most powerful?"
"The Hengxi Chamber of Commerce has such a big name in your place, why don't you give priority to selling the information to the two owners?" Why did you choose Duan Fang and Mei Jing?
The villagers opened their mouths for "me" for a long time, and they couldn't tell the reason.
yes, why?
He just felt that a more amazing character must be more generous, and he must have received the most reward for selling such important information to Mei Jing.
As for how the idea came about, hmm......
To be honest, he didn't know either.
It was as if the thought had popped out of thin air, and it was natural not to be suspicious.
Hu Chengli didn't take it for granted. Whether it is Duanfang or Mei Jing, these local villagers are outsiders, and there is a sense of rejection; Hengxi Chamber of Commerce is a local hegemon, and its financial power is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, this villager wants money, why is the first thought not to go to Hengxi Chamber of Commerce to sell intelligence, but to find Duanfang?
Isn't there anything strange about this?
He suddenly stretched out his hand to clasp the man's pulse: "What you just said, is everything true?"
The villagers were startled by his actions and were about to struggle, but when they saw his intimidating gaze, they still responded honestly: "Yes, it's all true." ”
His pulse was normal, and there was indeed no trace of lying.
Hu Chengli let go of his hand in disappointment. In fact, he also knows that sometimes human beings act without much thought, and they can't figure out why they do what they do.
Here's a proper name:
Obsessed.
At this time, he vaguely heard a few words of discussion in his ears, and when he looked at the sound, he saw three strangers standing on the shore, and one muttered: "It's strange, I entered this underwater cave two days ago, and there is not even a ghost in it." ”
"That's your bad luck. His companion laughed at him, "You are really a willow tree planted in one place when you are an old man willow and don't move? ”
Hu Chengli's eyes flashed. Is it really just good luck?
......
Duan Fang rode a horse to follow Mei Jing's side, originally half a horse behind, seeing that the corners of her mouth were raised, and the always stern lines on her face were eased, knowing that she was in a very good mood, he took the opportunity to take two steps forward and asked in a low voice: "I just saw Senior Brother Hu interrogating Liu Zhaoqing, don't intercept the details of the murder case, but ask about Yan San's whereabouts." Master, do you know, what is the reason for this?"
After taking down Liu Zhaoqing, Mei Jing's eyes looked at him even more kindly: "In the matter of the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce, Hu Chengli has done a mess, and it is useless for him to entangle, it is better to complete the other errands at hand, so as to redeem the credit." ”
Duan Fang was at a loss: "Senior Brother Hu has been appreciated by Lu Fengchang, what he can do must be a big thing, Yan San is just a child, what can it have to do with him?"
Thinking of this, Mei Jing smiled and was in a better mood: "Do you still remember the Yaji at the beginning of spring this year?"
Duan Fang praised: "Celebrities gathered, it was a grand scene." ”
"According to the convention, the opera troupe that opens every year is the first place to compete from the ceremony organized by Wu Xianfeng. This year's troupe is Yuguitang in Yuncheng, which has been silent for many years, and suddenly relied on a new play "Broken Red Face" to soar, and even many celebrities praised it on the Yaji. ”
Duan Fang nodded: "It's really good." ”
But this drama disliked the sect master, and instructed Wu Xianfeng to find out the ins and outs, so the surnamed Lu had to assign Hu Chengli to Yuncheng to investigate the whole story. ”
Duan Fang suddenly said: "It turned out to be a matter of Cloud City, and it is still far from here." "What I thought in my heart was that Yan San was indeed from Cloud City, could it really be related to Hu Chengli's investigation?
"I heard that Hu Chengli was deflated in Yuncheng, and the woman who wrote the script for Yuguitang died, and the clue came to an abrupt end. Mei Jing said with a smile, "For this matter, Hu Chengli also dragged a state official to dismount. ”
Duan Fang exclaimed: "I also heard that Yunchengtong was sentenced to prison, but I didn't expect it to be Senior Brother Hu's handiwork." ”
"Anyway, his errand is still an unsolved case. Hu Chengli has some skills, but his heart is too high, and he wants to make a difference after suffering a loss?" Mei Jing sighed, "This time that kid is unlucky, but whenever Hu Chengli targets a person, he will bite like a mad dog until the final result is out." It is precisely because of this that the surnamed Lu frequently assigns him errands. ”
Duanfang's eyes flashed slightly. Is Hu Chengli so persistent?
Mei Jing groaned, "But it's a little strange that he found a young boy. This Yan San, do you usually have much contact?"
