Chapter 166: Suspect
In his sleep, Fang Duan screamed loudly, startled himself into a cold sweat, and woke up. He gasped for breath and looked out the window, it was still dark. He wiped his face with cold water, added a coat and walked out of the inn. Rong Yue stood next to the corpse, and there was a bonfire burning in front of him.
Fang Du walked over, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's hard work, go to sleep, I'll take care of you." Rong Yue broke off a dead branch and threw it into the fire, the tongue of fire licked the branch greedily, making a popping sound, "I'm not sleepy, you should sleep a little longer, there are still many things waiting for you to deal with tomorrow." Fang Duan smiled bitterly, "Yes, we just arrived in Lutai Town, and we encountered such a thing, just like that person said, I really didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out." Rong Yue suddenly said, "Fang Dui, I admire you all the way. Fang Du was a little surprised, "Why do you say that?"
Rong Yue looked at him through the burning flames, "Among our group, the Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, and even a prince from the Eagle Clan. But whenever something happens, these people will unconsciously take you as the backbone. Why is this happening, because you solve problems every time, and that's why I admire you!"
"This is not the credit of me alone, and without everyone's help, I can't do anything alone. Fang Du said, "Just like this time, the Holy Admiral entrusted me with such an important matter, whether it is the Imperial Forest Army in the palace, or the soldiers who can go to the battlefield, no matter how many people can't help, all I can think of is you." ”
"If the kind of invulnerable monster they said really exists, what are you going to do?" Rong Yue asked a question, which was also a question that had plagued Fang Duan for a long time. Fang Du said, "It's still the same sentence, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, since someone is deliberately creating them, there must be a way to destroy them." As long as we find the right direction, we will solve this problem. Rong Yue took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I believe in you, okay, it's almost dawn, I'll go sleep for a while!"
After Rong Yue left, Fang Dui's only son was by the fire, and the cold before dawn made him extremely sober, just enough to think about some questions. It's just that he thought too much, Fang Duan began to feel sleepy again, and before he knew it, he fell asleep in a daze.
"That's right, it's him!"
"Come and see, the body is next to this person, he must have killed it!"
"Report to the officer!"
"Hurry up and ask the mayor!"
A loud noise woke up the sleeping Fang Dusk. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and looked blankly at the people besieging the city around him. By this time the sun was hanging overhead, and the fire had been extinguished, leaving only ashes in the ground. Fang Duan hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Fellow villagers, may I ask where the mayor's house is, I have something important to look for him!"
"Hmph, do you want to take the opportunity to escape after you killed someone, no way!" someone scolded coldly, "The mayor of the town has already been invited, and you are not allowed to leave a single step before he comes!" Fang Du realized that he was guarding the corpse, but he was regarded as a murderer by the people passing by. He smiled wryly and sat down again, not saying a word.
At this time, the noise outside alarmed the people sleeping in the inn. They walked out, and saw that Fang Du was surrounded by groups, and they stepped forward to relieve the siege. When the people saw that they had died, and they were in a group, they would not listen to their explanations, so they simply surrounded them together and waited for the mayor to deal with them.
At the end of the meal, the crowd suddenly stopped the noise and made a way. A man in his early thirties, dressed in a white leather robe, with wheat-colored skin, and his eyes blazing but anxious and hungry, walked over quickly.
"What's the matter, you're a foreigner?" he seemed stunned for a moment after seeing Fang Dui. Someone shouted, "Mayor Town, they live in Gu Xiucai's inn, I don't know if they said you came at the time!"
At this time, the innkeeper who was belated, that is, the Gu Xiucai, ran over out of breath and said breathlessly, "He, they came to Lutai Town yesterday evening, I advised them not to stay in my inn, but they didn't listen." When I saw that I couldn't stop it, I went home on my own. Fang Dui hugged his fist at the mayor of the town and said, "My name is Fang Dui, and I am from the capital." Mayor Mare, this man was not killed by us!"
Who knew that the mayor of the town didn't listen to Fang Dui's explanation, and waved his hand and said, "There are only a few outsiders in the entire Lutai Town, so naturally you are the most suspicious, this is one of them." I heard that you slept next to the corpse when you were found, and you told me why you would do this if you didn't kill this person?
The mayor of the town pointed at Fang Du and said, "This person is extremely suspicious, and the mayor of this town will take him back for careful interrogation and give everyone an explanation." But do any of you know the deceased?" and some whispered, "The head is gone, who can recognize it?" and others said, "This dress looks familiar, but I can't remember it for a while." ”
"Get out of the way, let me see if it's him!" At this time, a woman squeezed in from outside the crowd, and when she saw the dead body lying on the ground, she immediately howled, "You short-lived ghost, leave me alone, how can you live in the days to come!"
Someone recognized this woman as the daughter-in-law of the horse dealer Hu Er, and the one lying on the ground should be Hu Er. The mayor asked, "Second daughter-in-law Hu, is this your man?" Second daughter-in-law Hu almost fainted from crying, "That's right, he is Hu Er, this dress is still made by me, I recognize it at a glance!"
"Good!" said the mayor, "take the dead body with the suspect!" Someone came up to pull Fang Dui, Rong Yue was immediately furious, "Bold, how dare you touch him!" Zhan Xingran even commanded his subordinates to rescue Fang Dui, but Fang Dui glanced at them and shook his head slightly. The mayor thought that Fang Dui was afraid of his own prestige, so he was even more proud in his heart, snorted coldly, and let people escort Fang Du behind him with his hands behind his back.
Although Lutai Town is not large, it also has a yamen public hall. The mayor pouted and patted the wooden road, "Who is standing down, why don't you kneel?" The dog legs raised by the mayor understood and kicked Fang Dui's calf. Li Qingxue saw it clearly, and with a flick of her fingers, a pebble the size of a soybean suddenly flew out and hit the back of the dog's leg with great precision.
Hearing only a miserable scream, the dog's legs were painful and unstable, and he immediately fell and gnawed on the mud. The people standing outside the hall burst into laughter, and the mayor of the town slapped the hall again, and scolded, "Silence!"
