Chapter 096: The Murderer

Laipigou shuddered all over, and thought to himself, "Is this man really having any evil spells?"

He didn't dare to answer Chen Ao's question, neither dared to admit it nor deny it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chen Ao looked at Laipigou's expression and sighed lightly: "It seems that I guessed correctly." ”

During the day today, the reason why he took Liang Xiaoya away was because he guessed that Wei Ji was likely to be the murderer. The day Wu Ping'er was killed was no different from usual. The only difference is that Liang Xiaoya came out to find Chen Ao, and used Wei Ji as an excuse to bring him to the yamen. Wei Ji met Wu Ping'er because of this.

Chen Ao recalled that when Wei Ji saw Wu Ping'er at that time, he was indeed a little strange. It's just that I didn't think about it at that time.

Although Liang Xiaoya didn't seem to be very interested in Wei Ji, they were married after all. Chen Ao didn't dare to take the risk and let Liang Xiaoya know about it. In case it is known by Wei Ji or by Liang Sizhi because of this. With the power of the Liang Mansion and the Lingnan Martial Arts Hall, he is a small magistrate, and he doesn't want to avenge Wu Ping'er at all.

Seeing Chen Ao stunned, Laipigou rolled his little eyes and tried to think about how to escape. However, Chen Ao always kept an eye on his every move, and did not give him a chance to sneak out at all.

Chen Ao said again: "Laipigou, I'll give you another chance, if you still don't want to say anything, hum, don't blame me for imprisoning you as an accomplice!"

When Laipigou heard this, he immediately shouted: "My lord, you can't wronged a good person!

Chen Ao sneered: "If you don't report it, you help the criminal hide it, what is it if you are not an accomplice?" I think, the people of the Liang Mansion probably won't care about the life or death of your little gangster, right?"

Lai Pigou gritted his teeth, and scolded Chen Ao in his heart, but he didn't dare to show a trace of dissatisfaction on his face. He laughed and said, "My lord, since you know everything, what do you want to ask me for?"

Chen Ao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I am the most reasonable person, I have always paid attention to evidence, and I will never wronged a good person......"

Lai Pi Dog thought to himself, you are still reasonable? You are even more unreasonable than me!

"Lai Pigou, as long as you are willing to appear in court as a witness and testify against Wei Ji's crimes, I can not blame you for the past, how about it?" Chen Ao said with a kind face.

Lai Pigou was startled, shook his hand again and again, and said, "My lord, you will spare me! Let me testify against him? Isn't this my life?"

Chen Ao had long thought that Laipi Dog would refuse, but he had no other way. Laipi was the only witness, and there was no better way to convict Wei Ji. If Wei Ji's crime can be confirmed, it may be able to make Liang Sizhi disgusted with Wei Ji, so as to clear the relationship between the two families.

At that time, Wei Ji did not have the support of the Liang family, and Chen Ao could deal with him. This is the only way Chen Ao can think of to avenge Wu Ping'er.

And all this must be well documented.

Lai Pi Dog sat on the ground and said, "My lord, I won't help you testify against Wei Gongzi if I say anything, you will die! Otherwise, I'll see if you dare to touch me!"

Chen Ao was very helpless, but he couldn't show it. Laipi is a human spirit, and if he sees that he has no other way, he will definitely not give in.

Chen Ao smiled slightly and said, "Okay, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you to ......."

Lai Pigou was feeling lucky, Chen Ao suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Leave this matter aside, the case of the murder of Wu Laohan's farming cattle, I also have to ask you to go back and assist in ......the investigation!

Raippi was startled. Although he was not an accomplice to Wu Ping'er's murder, he was the culprit in the slaughter of cultivated cattle. You can't change that.

Unwilling to be restrained, Laipi Dog suddenly jumped up and ran out of the door when he saw the vacancy.

Chen Ao had long been wary of his move, and just as Laipigou reached out to pull the door open, Chen Ao suddenly stretched out his foot and tripped under Laipigou's feet. Laipi was defenseless, and was suddenly thrown into the mud, and his face suddenly smacked on the threshold. Listening to the sound of "poof", Laipi Dog spit out two bloody front teeth, and the blood in his mouth did not stop.

Chen Ao was also a little frightened, but he didn't feel pity for this kind of person at all. He stretched out his hand and pulled up the moaning Laipi dog and escorted him to the county office.

Lippy covered his mouth with both hands, and blood was pouring out from between his fingers. Chen Ao escorted him through the empty streets, making a lot of noise. But in the middle of the night, no one came out to watch.

Chen Ao sneered and said, "Laipi dog, you are doing it yourself. Everybody thought you had escaped from the city. Even if you die quietly, no one will find out!"

Laipigou shivered when he saw the cold light shooting out of Chen Ao's eyes. He didn't doubt at all that the current Chen Ao might indeed beat him to death.

The two returned to the county office. Chen Ao woke up Wu Laohan, found a hemp rope, and tied up the Laipi dog. As soon as Wu Laohan heard that Laipigou was likely to have something to do with Ping'er's murderer, he was immediately furious. The old man, who is usually honest, suddenly looks like an angry lion at this moment. He kicked the dog twice more.

Chen Ao asked him to lock the dog in a room full of miscellaneous items, and then went back to the room. He had to think about what to do next, how to get Lippy to speak?

He Jiangyue didn't come back to find Chen Ao until noon the next day. As soon as the two met, they shut the door of the room, and no one was allowed to approach. The county government's Catcher Kuai and Pei Shikong looked at each other, but no one dared to touch Chen Ao's moldy head, so they could only secretly guess what these two people were doing.

Chen Ao pulled He Jiangyue to sit down and asked, "Did you find anything?"

He Jiangyue said with a smile: "My lord is really clever, and his guess is not bad at all." The Hongxiang Building was shut down, and those gentlemen could only gather at the Red Gate Tower. I've been sitting there from yesterday to today and I've finally made some discoveries......"

He took a breath and said, "This morning, I overheard Wei Ji mentioned in the casual conversation between the two sons! I only heard one of them say: 'I have really been suffocated to death in the past two days, and the Hongxiang Building has not been opened, and those girls are also scared to death one by one, thinking that someone is going to kill them, and no one dares to come out. The other said, 'No......! The girl that Brother Wei took us to taste that day was really good...... it turned out that the one whispered: "Be quiet." I don't dare to talk about this kind of thing. I heard that the new magistrate wants to marry that girl!' The man said strangely: 'Marry the dead......?'

Before He Jiangyue finished speaking, Chen Ao's face was already pale, and his fist slammed on the table.

"Do you know both of them?" Chen Ao gritted his teeth.

He Jiangyue nodded and said, "These two people, one is Xu Mao, the son of the boss of the rice shop, and the other is Xie Ning from Buzhuang in the south of the city. They are all children of rich families, and they have a close relationship with Wei Ji. ”

Chen Ao snorted coldly. Over the past few days, he has also learned a little about the situation in Liangcheng. Although Xu Mao and Xie Ning are not ordinary people, they don't have much of a good relationship with the Liang Mansion. The Liang Mansion was stationed in Liangcheng, and the suppression of their Liang family was not small.

He frowned and said, "Go, arrest someone!"
