16. Death is to save face, learn to judge cases, and play with a big heart to teach children to be people

Everyone in the courtyard was shocked, and all the officers and soldiers let go of their hands, not knowing what to do. That Lord Wu's face was pale, and he couldn't help but look at the old man of the Xi family. Old Man Xi frowned, ran over, grabbed the little servant, and asked him,

"What's going on, let's be clear!"

The little servant trembled and replied,

"Master, the son of the Ma family, Ma Guan'er, is dead and killed!"

"Where did you die?"

"In the firewood room in the backyard, I heard movement just now, and I went to check, how did I know that the blood was flowing all over the ground, and I don't know how long I have been dead!"

Master Xi hurriedly ran over, Xiao Yi immediately followed, and everyone in this courtyard also gathered in that direction, and everyone in Xifu had more questions in their hearts, and they also walked ahead. Xiao Yi thought as he ran, could it be that the man on the street saw the killing of this horse official, so he was scared to run around. Before they had time to think about it, everyone was already in the backyard. Master Xi was about to enter the house, but was stopped by Lord Wu,

"Master Xi, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to go in here, why don't you let me send someone to inspect it first!"

When Master Xi heard that there were officers and soldiers there, he had to take care of their faces, so he stopped and motioned to everyone in Xifu to get out of the way. Then Lord Wu sent someone into the house to check, and Xiao Yi was also outside the door to see the situation in the house. Xi's firewood house is huge, and there are countless dry firewood stored, and someone cleans and sorts it out on weekdays, but it is also clean and comfortable, and it should not be regarded as abusing that horse official. But at this time, the firewood room was a mess, there were blood stains everywhere, Ma Guan'er's body was twisted in a very uncomfortable way, lying quietly at the door, his right hand was covered with blood, the blood was dark red and had dried, and the hand was just up to the threshold. The inspector wrote down the situation in the house one by one, and came out to report to Lord Wu.

"My lord, this man has been dead for half an hour, and he died of blood loss from a sharp blade through his abdomen. Looking at this situation, this door should have been locked from the outside, and he still wanted to come out after he was injured, but how did he know that the door was fastened from the outside, and he was stuffed with strips of cloth in his mouth, so he couldn't open his mouth for help, so he slapped the door with his hand, but no one responded outside, so he bled to death!"

Then Lord Wu nodded and asked again,

"But is it really the horse official himself?"

"I don't know this, and I asked the Ma family to come and check it. ”

Lord Wu turned around, looked at Master Xi, and then at the fourth master of the horse, slightly embarrassed,

"I'm sorry Master Xi, there was a death today, it's not easy to handle. Fourth Master Ma, let's go and check if it's your own nephew!"

The fourth master of the horse was already red-eyed, and immediately brought people over, followed by a burst of ghosts and wolves howling, the scene was so grand that everyone in the audience was moved. Xiao Yi knew that there must be a conspiracy in this, and he wanted to blame the Xi family and let the Xi family plant a big heel.

Lord Wu came to Master Xi's side, shook his head and said,

"Master Xi, this is really not easy to do!"

Master Xi was angry and couldn't stop coughing. Lord Wu called the servant who reported the news and asked,

"How did you find out that Ma Guan'er was dead! From beginning to end, tell me clearly!"

The little servant was still apprehensive, and did not dare to look at the firewood room again, he lowered his head and spoke slowly,

"Originally, I was taking care of this Ma Guan'er with Da Chuan, oh no, it's Ma Gongzi, Ma Gongzi. He used clever words to buy off the two of us, but we didn't listen to him, he scolded, and the scolding was too ugly, and we couldn't get angry, so we blocked his mouth. There was an accident in the front yard again, and I was worried about the master, so I let Okawa take care of it alone, and I went to the front to see the situation. I hid in the corridor to see the situation in this courtyard, our Xi family didn't seem to suffer any losses, and then Lord Wu brought officers and soldiers to come, I thought that it must be fine, so I went back. As I left, Okawa was sitting at the door, and the door was fastened shut so that he would not escape. But when I came back and opened the door, Dachuan was nowhere to be seen, and the horse, Ma Gongzi, had already died tragically. ”

Xiao Yi stepped forward to ask,

"I don't know if this Dachuan has a national character face, and his right leg is a little disobedient!"

The servant replied,

"Exactly, has my uncle ever seen him?"

Lord Wu was about to reprimand this person who interjected at will, but when he heard the word uncle, he understood,

"Drink, it turned out to be the uncle of the Xi family, disrespectful and disrespectful! That's called Dachuan, haven't you seen it before?"

Xiao Yi replied,

"Exactly, I happened to bump into him on the street when I came, and he shouted 'murder' as he ran, and the people can testify to it!"

Lord Wu smiled and nodded,

"If you find this big river, this case will be solved!

Xiao Yi replied,

"If you go to the south of the city, you don't know the specifics. ”

Lord Wu summoned a few people and commanded,

"First ask someone who knows Dachuan well where he likes to go, and then go and bring him back to me!"

A few people received the order, found a servant of Xifu who was familiar with them, and left in a hurry after inquiry. Lord Wu was full of confidence and said with a smile,

"No one in the courtyard is allowed to leave without permission! I will definitely catch the real murderer and return the innocence of the old man!"

This is very unpleasant, even Xiao Yi can't listen to it, he only hopes that the officers and soldiers can find Dachuan, and besides, the murderer has not yet killed Dachuan, otherwise how can this matter be said clearly.

After a long time, the officers and soldiers of the team came back, and Xiao Yi looked at the expressions of several people, and knew that the search was fruitless. Lord Wu said angrily,

"Useless waste! Nothing found?"

A few people trembled and replied,

"It's just that some people saw him running around shouting 'murder', and it is unknown where he ran. ”

"What a waste! Keep looking, don't come back if you can't find it!"

Lord Wu was furious, unable to restrain himself, and shouted loudly. Several officers and men were also obedient, and they were about to run out! As soon as they ran to the door, someone spoke.

"Oh, slow down, you're in a hurry to eat! My fat pig is good, I'll let you try it later!"

Xiao Yi could understand that it must be the garlic senior's arrival! As expected, the garlic swaggered in, and several officers and soldiers looked at each other, seeing this strange person walking by, they didn't take their eyes off it. Xiao Yi looked at him, dressed the same as when they met for the first time, Xiao Yi stretched out his hand to say hello, and the garlic saw it immediately, Dong Dong Dong ran over, grabbed Xiao Yi and asked,

"Oh yes! I heard the old onion say that the little monk is with you, why don't you see him!"

Xiao Yi smiled back at him,

"Something happened here, let him stay inside and play by himself. ”

Garlic put his hand in his hair, grabbed a few handfuls, and said,

"The little monk is very boring! You say a hundred words to him, and he may not be able to reply to you! I see, he is quite compatible with the old onion. Haha, boy, how long have you been here, where is there any fun, tell me about it!"

Xiao Yi was about to reply to him, but Lord Wu was unhappy. As soon as the garlic head came in, he didn't look at him, no matter how he said it, he was also an official, so turning a blind eye to him was really a shame in front of his subordinates, he coughed dryly twice, and said,

"Who are you, haven't you seen the official handle the case, if you obstruct official business, you won't be able to eat and carry around!"

Garlic looked back at the man, pursed his mouth, put his face on Lord Wu's face, and his erect hair pierced into his nostrils, Lord Wu hurriedly stepped back and shouted,

"Where did the thief come from, he dared to be disrespectful to his own official! Someone, tie him up for me!"

Xiao Yi grabbed the garlic head with one hand, and swayed with the other,

"No, Lord Wu, this senior just likes to have fun, and he is so arrogant on weekdays, there is really no malice at all. ”

Garlic's eyes widened and he laughed,

"Oh, yes, you're going to tie someone, hurry, come and teach me how to tie it!"

The garlic head broke away from Xiao Yi, stepped forward and grabbed Lord Wu, he put his hands behind his back, folded them together, turned his back to Lord Wu, and said,

"Come on, come on, tie me, tie me, tie me!"

Lord Wu was confused, he didn't know what this person was thinking, the garlic still didn't give up, he simply asked his subordinates to take the rope and tie the garlic strongly. Garlic's hands and feet were tied together, and he turned over with his head down, his hands and feet facing the sky together. Master Wu burst out laughing,

"Haha, isn't it fun!"

The garlic also laughed, and with that waist with strength, he jumped up and down on the ground,

"Oops, it's fun, it's fun!"

When all the officers and soldiers saw him like this, they all laughed out loud. Xiao Yi smiled and asked him,

"Garlic senior, have had enough, I'll untie it for you!"

Garlic spat and shook his head,

"No, no, I'll play a little longer!"

After saying that, he jumped up again, causing more people to laugh. Xiyue came to Xiao Yi's side, covered her mouth and snickered,

"Brother, this senior is so interesting! I think he looks the same as the shallot senior, they must be two brothers! Hehe, they are really a pair of living treasures!"

Garlic seemed to hear Xiyue's words, turned around and jumped over, he looked at Xiyue upside down, a little puzzled, so he used his hands and feet together, but he changed his hands and feet to the front of him, and then left and right a few times, the rope broke down, and it was useless. The garlic came to Xiyue, wrapped his lower lip around his upper lip, and blinked three times quickly, before he said,

"Hey, this little girl is also your friend?

Xiao Yi smiled awkwardly, but it was Lord Wu who said it for him,

"This is the eldest lady of the Xi family, what about him, it's her husband!"

Garlic crossed his hands on his hips, straightened his stomach, raised his eyebrows, and said loudly,

"Hey, you kid is actually a person who likes the new and hates the old? Hmph, Ye Feng's kid doesn't have a good eye!"

Lord Wu interjected again, and it seemed that he was also quite interested in this garlic.

"The two fell in love at first sight, it was a good fate that day, the wedding wine that I just drank yesterday, this brother, you are late!"

The garlic beeped,

"Oops, I missed it again! I missed it again!

He suddenly thought of something, and when he came to Lord Wu, he laughed dryly, revealing a row of snow-white teeth,

"Haha, you tied me up just now, now it's my turn! That's fair! hehe! hey!"

Before Lord Wu could react, he was turned over by the garlic head with one hand, he stretched out his foot to hook the rope, dragged it over, and kept spinning on Lord Wu, Lord Wu kept screaming, but no one stepped forward to help. In just a moment, this Lord Wu became like a zongzi, unable to move at all, the garlic kicked on him, his stomach spun on the ground, and he was about to stop, the garlic reached out again, and he continued to spin again. All the officers and soldiers only saw him show off his martial arts on weekdays, but when there was such a setback, they all held back their laughter, and one of them held back a big fart, and then everyone burst into laughter.

The garlic head was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, so he simply lay on the ground and watched Lord Wu turn in circles. Lord Wu frothed at the mouth after a few more turns, and the garlic stopped him. The two looked at each other and asked with a smile,

"Haha, is it fun, is it fun?!"

Lord Wu opened his mouth, and the white foam flowed out, but it entered his nostrils, causing him to cough profusely. Xiao Yi hurriedly stepped forward and turned him sideways, allowing the white foam to flow out smoothly.

"Senior Garlic, you've had enough, don't torture Lord Wu anymore, he will have to solve the case in a while and be the master of the people!"

Garlic pursed his lips and replied,

"I'm not having fun again!Hey, it's boring!

He suddenly became sullen, hid in a corner, crouched down, put his hands on his knees, lowered his head behind his hands, and peeked at the crowd. Xiyue thought this garlic was funny, so she slowly approached him, and when she stopped three steps away from him, she leaned forward, put her palms together to her mouth, and said softly,

"Senior Garlic, shall we go and play with the little monk?"

When Garlic saw that someone was paying attention to him, he became happy, he jumped up, he laughed out loud, and slapped his hands straight up,

"Okay, okay, take me to see what the little bald man has become!"

Xiyue grinned and took him away, and everyone watched him leave.

Xiao Yi untied the rope on Master Wu's body and said with a smile,

"Lord Wu, you don't know, he is very famous in the rivers and lakes, how many people beg to see him, he has such an interaction with you today, presumably in the near future, he will definitely be promoted and rich, and the future is limitless!"

Lord Wu was very angry and was about to go crazy, but he was extremely forbearing, listening to Xiao Yi talk like this, he also knew that Xiao Yi had found a step for him, if he didn't go down, that person's martial arts were so strong, and he didn't have the slightest confidence of victory.

"This master is the famous garlic senior! Oh, I really don't know Taishan! No, no, no, I'll have to pay him a good visit in a while!"

Xiao Yi was impressed by his acting skills, he was only afraid that he knew very little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but he made such an appearance, which is really not something that ordinary people can do. Xiao Yi accompanied him and said,

"It's over, let's go together, and I'll ask him to teach me a few powerful kung fu tricks!"

Lord Wu shouted and said,

"That's a good feeling, do we still need to prepare some gifts, I see that the garlic seniors like something special, I'll find someone to prepare to go!"

Xiao Yi smiled and coped, and someone came in outside Xi's house again,

"Let's go! Don't be struggling!

Xiao Yi was overjoyed in his heart, it was Tong Lu who came! He thought to himself, this garlic predecessor came here, I am afraid that it is also the credit of Tong Lu Baiqing. He came out, only to see Tong Lu holding a rope, and two people were tied to the other end of the rope, both of whom had blue noses and swollen faces, and large tree roots stuffed in their mouths, staggering in front. There is another person beside Tong Lu, holding a sword in one hand as a defensive posture, his face is solemn, there is no joy, who is not that Gu Yan! There is another person behind Tong Lu Gu Yan, trembling and following the two, Xiao Yi is overjoyed, this person is actually the servant of Xifu who shouted 'Kill someone' Da Chuan.

"Lu Lu, you are really a god!

Tong Lu was very proud and said with a smile,

"That's nature, as soon as I get out of the horse, there's nothing I can't do!"

Xiao Yi patted him on the shoulder,

"Hey, hey, look at what you can!"

The five of them came over together, and Lord Wu threw off the official authority again and asked,

"Who are you?"

The servant who was guarding with Okawa replied,

"Lord Hui, the last person is Okawa, he must know about this!"

Lord Wu was overjoyed, this case has witnesses, and the certainty of solving the case has increased greatly.

"What Dachuan, come over quickly, the official has something to ask you!"

Tong Lu looked back at him and said with a smile,

"It's okay, there is an official master who makes the decision for you, what's so terrible! Whatever you hear and see, all say it together!"

When Okawa heard this, he immediately knelt down,

"Official! It's too scary! It's too scary! I fell asleep in the shade behind the rattan, and I was dazed when I saw people enter the firewood room, and I thought it was just a dazzle. But then there was movement inside, and I came to my senses, and the man stabbed a dagger straight into Ma Guan'er's body, oops, blood, so much blood! I, I, I almost fainted with fright. The man didn't know how to get into the house, and when he went out, he didn't forget to pin the door of the firewood house. He came out, but he found me. I ran and ran, but I still couldn't run it!"

Tong Lu answered him and said,

"This Dachuan, ran to the riverside, was chased by these two people, and was about to become a dead soul, how do I know that I met me who is as clever as a god and has no omissions, haha, which two of these two are opponents, three times and two times, they became my prisoners!"

Gu Yan looked at Tong Lu and said suspiciously,

"Didn't the garlic seniors subdue the two of them!"

Tong Lu didn't know what he was interested in, and he didn't reason with him,

"The two killed Ma Guan'er to provoke an incident and let the Xi family get into a lawsuit. If it weren't for the wisdom of me, this only person would have died unexpectedly, and the next thing would have been difficult!"

Xiao Yi kicked him in the ass and said,

"Stop putting on a show, hurry up and make things clear!"

Tong Lu rubbed his buttocks and grinned,

"Here's the point!

He handed the rope to Gu Yan, stood on the flower platform himself, and looked down at the crowd.

"How could Master Xi kill Ma Guan'er in his own home, he can think of the answer with his ass! So who is going to blame the Xi family? I think some people will say that the Xi family's business is so big, it will definitely make a lot of enemies, and there are many enemies, how do you know if there are any crazy people! But in my opinion, this possibility is still relatively small. Today, the whole Xifu only learned the true identities of Xiyue and Ma Guan'er, and where did the enemies get the news? So, in my opinion, it is more likely that someone has already made arrangements!"

Tong Lu cleared his throat and said,

"Someone is going to ask, who is so vicious, and what good is it for him? This is the crux of the matter! I will tell you from beginning to end! This Ma Guan'er was originally a man, but he was raised as a woman, and there was only one purpose, after marrying Xiyue, he successfully became the real eldest young master of the Xi family. This is very beneficial to the Xi family and the Ma family, the Xi family will not be talked about, what about the Ma family, climb the high branches of the Xi family, why not. But things went wrong, and the Ma family's mind changed, and they wanted more than just the identity of the eldest young master! They tried to occupy the entire Xi family's property!"

The fourth master of the horse scolded angrily,

"Nonsense!

Tong Lu turned his head to look at him,

"Why are you in such a hurry, am I right? Or do you have a part in this?"

Ma Siye was blocked back by a sentence, his anger couldn't be dispersed, and his face turned red. Tong Lu smiled, waved his hand lightly, looked at the fourth master of the horse, and continued,

"I always like to interrupt people! But it's okay, I continued, continued. Do you still remember the wave of people from the rivers and lakes who came early this morning! Those people are very fierce, and the guards of our Xifu are no worse than them in terms of ability, but they have suffered a big loss because of the advantages of weapons!"

The guards were also happy when they heard this, and they said in their hearts that this kid is really good at talking. Tong Lu said,

"The Ma family knew about the disguise, and they knew that they were fighting in the door, so they spread the news and let the other party come to find trouble, if it really started, the Xi family would definitely be greatly damaged, if the old man of the Xi family all died in the conflict, then this Ma Guan'er really became the only heir of the Xi family!"

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in approval, Tong Lu and the others sorted out their clues and continued,

But how do they know that these people are not murderous people, although they are extremely perverse, they do not take people's lives. The Ma family brought people to find trouble, but I was afraid that it was also because after the matter was revealed, they would come to bite the Xi family, so that everyone thought that the Xi family had broken the contract first, which led to the breakdown of the relationship between the two families. ”

That Lord Wu nodded continuously, and it seemed that he was listening very carefully, he raised his head and asked,

"Then how did this horse official die!"

Tong Lu stretched out his hand, pointed to the fourth master of the horse, and said,

"Then we have to ask our fourth master!"
