Chapter 042: The Cause of Disaster (5)

Bai Luoshang touched her forehead helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "I broke into your house in the middle of the night, it's true that I'm rude, but they don't knock on the door when they come in in broad daylight, isn't it even more rude?"

Ji Yinsan's eyes flashed, although he was facing away from the courtyard, he also knew who "they" were referring to in Bai Luosheng's mouth. I also knew that these people were carrying knives and surrounded the room tightly.

This is a group of yamen with knives and locks, breaking into the door violently, squeezing into the courtyard back and forth, almost completely blocking the doors and windows.

One of the men dressed as a head catcher walked out and shouted at the people in the house: "Someone reported that there was a murder here, and we were ordered to come and arrest the culprit." Come on, bring them all back. ”

Bai Luoshang looked at Ji Yinsan in surprise, "You also went to report the case?"

Ji Yinsan sat down at the table with his back hunched over, and said unhurriedly: "Human life is at stake, and the case naturally has to be reported." ”

Bai Luoshang said angrily: "You killed the person." ”

Ji Yinsan sneered, "No one will kill people in their own home." ”

Of course, Bai Luoshang would not believe such a statement, because he was almost very sure that Gu Kongyin and Yi Guxing were both killed by the old man in front of him, and the murder weapon was the double-toothed knife in Ji Yinsan's hand, and the evidence was the sorrow on the double-toothed knife.

Bai Luoshang looked at Ji Yinsan, then at Qiu Lifeng, and then at the ugly monster, and finally didn't say anything more, got up and went out.

The officials outside the door had no intention of letting him go, and he did not force him to leave.

Qiu Lifeng and Yue Beichuan didn't say a word, and went directly to the county government with Bai Luosheng.

And the ugly monster was also very strange that he didn't resist, but he was locked up and taken away. No one knows why he was arrested, but Bai Luoshang can guess why he was arrested, because Bai Luoshang knows that beggars are not allowed in this Pushan County, and this person's appearance is clearly a person named Huazi.

Strange to say, they were taken to the yamen, and they were not tried and put in a prison cell.

It's not that Bai Luoshang hasn't been in a cell, but it's the first time that she's been locked up in this way.

Qiu Lifeng leaned against the wall, her face was a little bad.

Bai Luoshang looked at him through the wooden fence and said with a wry smile: "You obviously don't come." ”

Qiu Lifeng didn't look at him, and said coldly: "Anyway, if you act with you, you won't have good luck." ”

Bai Luoshang smiled awkwardly: "Are you always unlucky with me?"

Qiu Lifeng sneered and asked, "Isn't it unlucky?"

Bai Luoshang sat on the ground on her knees, shook her head and said, "It's clear that every time I'm with you, it's my bad luck." If you hadn't taken me to see Ji Yinsan this time, I wouldn't have stayed in this kind of place now. ”

Qiu Lifeng said unhappily: "If it weren't for the fact that you had chosen to go to Tonghu Mountain, I'm afraid you wouldn't have had the opportunity to stay here in your life." ”

Hearing this, Bai Luoshang couldn't help but glance up at Qiu Lifeng and asked, "You haven't told me yet, who is Ji Yinsan, and what are you looking for him for?"

Regarding this topic, Qiu Lifeng chose not to listen to it and avoided talking about it. Qiu Lifeng didn't talk about it, Bai Luoshang couldn't force him to talk, Bai Luoshang could only sigh.

The dimly lit cell was cold, but fortunately it was not damp. It's better than Ji Yinsan's broken yard.

Bai Luoshang looked at Qiu Lifeng and suddenly smiled.

I'm afraid that apart from him, no one in the world will believe that the prince of Qiu, who is the crown of the world, will also be locked in the prison door.

It's strange to think about it, with Qiu Lifeng's arrogant character, he can really bear it.

As far as Bai Luosheng's understanding of Qiu Lifeng is concerned, this person is definitely not a person who can bear it.

Being so quiet and quiet now is indeed a big surprise to Bai Luosheng.

Qiu Lifeng was indeed a little impatient, and after noticing Bai Luosheng's inexplicable smile, he glared even more unhappily and said, "What are you laughing at?"

Bai Luoshang shook her head.

Qiu Lifeng saw that he was just smiling and not talking, and he probably guessed what he was thinking in his heart, but he was not in the mood to care, so he had to close his eyes and stop talking.

At the end of the night, the rain disappeared, and all that was left was stagnant water and cold and damp air.

Early the next morning, a servant went to the cell to ask for questioning, but they only brought Bai Luoshang alone.

He followed the servant out of the cell and went to a courtyard in a twist and turn.

In the yard, there were no flowers or trees, it was very empty and monotonous, without any decoration, except for a layer of grass under the feet.

On the turf, there is a stone table and two stone benches.

A teapot and a cup were placed on the table, and a thin-looking man sat on a stool.

Dressed in brocade clothes, his manners are elegant, like a highly cultivated scholar.

Although his back was facing Bai Luoshang, from his back, this person was too thin, just sitting there, as if he would be blown away by the wind. Of course, he won't really be blown away by the wind, because there is no wind here, not that there is no wind, but the wind can't blow into this courtyard.

In the early spring, it is considered a spring breeze outside, but there is not the slightest wind in this courtyard.

Because the walls of the courtyard are very high, as tall as five or six people, it looks like a city wall, and it is normal for the wind outside the courtyard to not be able to blow in with such a high barrier.

Why should the outer wall of a yamen be built as high as the city wall?

Bai Luoshang didn't understand, and he didn't want to understand, what he was curious about was the person sitting in the courtyard.

Looking at the man with a body as thin as paper, Bai Luoshang couldn't help but sigh in her heart, thinking that a person can be born so thin, it can be seen that life is not easy.

The official who led the way stepped forward and whispered a word to the man.

Only then did the man turn around.

His unattractive facial features make Bai Luoshang look a little familiar.

Quietly stepped forward, Bai Luoshang bowed to the man, and said, "The grass people have seen Master Wu. ”

The man's eyes widened, and then he asked the official next to him very strangely, "You told him that the official was going to interrogate him?"

The official immediately shook his head and said, "The subordinates have never said anything. ”

The man was even more strange and said, "Then why does he know this official?"

The official also looked strange.

The man turned to ask Bai Luoshang strangely: "The official doesn't know you, why do you know the official?"

The head of a county, sitting high on the temple, naturally does not know a city, but the common people cannot help but know their parents and officials. However, Bai Luoshang knew that the reason why this county official was surprised was because very few people had seen his true face.

A county official who never goes to court to handle cases, never goes out, and never inspects the people's situation, naturally not many people know him.

It is indeed an incredible thing that an outsider like Bai Luoshang can recognize him at a glance.

Bai Luoshang coughed and explained: "Here, I am afraid that only adults can have the right to interrogate people in prison. ”

The man, that is, Wu Wei, the magistrate of Pushan County, suddenly realized at this time, nodded and said, "Yes, the right to interrogate prisoners is only available to this official." It's just that this is not a lobby, and you may not be invited here for interrogation. ”

Bai Luoshang stood up straight, "Then what is the matter with adults looking for grass people?"

Wu Wei asked rhetorically, "Don't you think it's strange that this official is here to see you?"

Bai Luoshang asked casually, "Why do you want to see grass people here?"

Wu Wei touched his stomach and frowned: "Because this official has always felt uncomfortable in the past two days." ”

When Bai Luoshang heard this, she immediately pretended to be worried and asked, "What is it that the adults feel uncomfortable for?"

Wu Wei smiled faintly: "Somehow, I suddenly broke my stomach the day before yesterday, and I haven't recovered yet." ”

Bai Luoshang was stunned and said, "Maybe it's a bad stomach." ”

Wu Wei said slowly: "I'm afraid that I eat too many meat buns, I never like to eat buns, especially not meat buns." ”

Bai Luoshang said strangely: "Since you don't like it, why do adults want to eat it?"

Wu Wei stared at Bai Luoshang fixedly, and said slowly, word by word: "It's not that I want to eat." ”

Bai Luoshang buried her head slightly, and said unhappily: "Since adults are not feeling well, they should see the doctor." ”

Wu Wei sighed and said, "The official doesn't want to see the doctor, the official just wants to see you." ”

Bai Luoshang looked up at him and wondered, "Why do adults want to see the grass people? ”

Wu Wei looked at him, "Because the official wants to know if the person who can force the official to eat ten meat buns looks different from other people." ”

Bai Luosheng's eyes bent and smiled: "Then what about after the adults have seen it?"

Wu Wei shook his head and said with a little disappointment: "His appearance is mediocre, I really can't see anything special." ”

Bai Luoshang said happily: "This is not a good look." ”

Although his face did not change, Bai Luoshang already felt a trace of guilt in his heart, this Wu Wei looked at it with a sick face, and those ten meat buns probably didn't make this county official feel good.

Seeing the embarrassed expression on Bai Luosheng's face, Wu Wei buckled the table, "Sit down, this official will interrogate you slowly." ”

Bai Luoshang was not polite, and while thanking him, he sat down at the table, "If the adults want to ask anything, just ask, and the grass people answered truthfully." ”

Wu Wei asked, "Those two were killed by you?"

Bai Luoshang immediately denied it: "No." ”

Wu Wei said: "Then how did they die in Steward Ji's house?"

Bai Luoshang was surprised: "Ji Yinsan is the adult's housekeeper?"

Wu Wei nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Bai Luoshang smiled, "So the adults believe in the words of this housekeeper more." ”

Wu Wei also smiled, "People always trust the people they know. ”

Bai Luoshang smiled: "But I didn't kill people. ”

Wu Wei continued to ask, "Then why did you appear at Steward Ji's house?"

Bai Luoshang could only say: "I just went to visit his old man's house." ”

Wu Wei said strangely: "Are you old acquaintances?"

Bai Luoshang said: "I have never been in my life, and I have never had any contacts. ”

Wu Wei asked even more strangely: "Since you don't know him, why did you visit him?"

Bai Luoshang smiled bitterly: "Although I don't know him, I must see him." ”

Wu Wei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You must see him, is there something special?"

"Nope. Bai Luoshang hurriedly said: "There is nothing special. ”

Wu Wei said: "So, why do you have to see him?"

Bai Luoshang thought for a while and replied, "It's just entrusted by others." ”

Wu Wei asked, "Who's trust?"

Bai Luoshang smiled bitterly, "Since you are entrusted by others, it is naturally difficult to tell others the identity of the other party." ”

Wu Wei sighed: "Since you can't tell, those two are still most likely killed by you." ”
