Chapter Fifty-Six: Disappearance Speculation
"Put him in jail!"
Yan Lixing ignored Yao Xi's nonsense and ordered his subordinates to immediately send him to the prison and imprison him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Now that this matter has been done, there is no room for maneuver, he does not regret it, his power and whereabouts are always being watched like this, it is better to resist.
"Yan Lixing, don't think that you can kill me by locking me up, even if you kill me, the adults will investigate you, and you will still be unable to escape death!"
From Yao Xi's somewhat hysterical words, he seemed to feel that this was a scene made by Yan Lixing, and the black-clothed catcher who killed Li Kun was actually arranged by Yan Lixing.
The illusion created by all this can allow Yan Lixing to shirk his responsibility. The calligraphy and painting were taken away by others, and had nothing to do with Yan Lixing.
It's just that Yao Xi is undoubtedly carried away by anger now, and he thinks about it randomly, and takes these thoughts for granted.
People will always subjectively judge some things that they have imagined, find various reasons to connect them, and finally turn them into a 'fact'.
It's just that if Yan Lixing had already been interested in that calligraphy and painting and knew its origin, why bothered so much, he had many other ways to obtain it easily.
"Take it down!"
Yan Lixing waved his hand, urging a few catchers to take it away.
Turning his head to look at Li Kun's body on the ground, he went over to check, but he was already out of breath and had been dead for a while.
An ordinary dagger was still inserted in the back of Li Kun's heart, and the blood was still flowing out of the wound, and the blood on the ground had begun to coagulate and turn black.
Around, there are still some officers and soldiers and the corpses of the catcher, all of whom were killed by Li Kun.
After thinking about it, Yan Lixing spoke.
"Carry down the bodies of the brothers and dispose of them, and give them twenty taels to each of their families for a good burial. Each of you can also get five taels, which is some compensation. ā
The people around him all showed a look of surprise on their faces.
"Thank you, sir!"
Originally, there were still complaints, but this time it was very dangerous. Yan Lixing opened his mouth to compensate everyone, and five taels of silver was enough for them to earn more than a year.
"There is also Li Kun's body, find a place to cremate him, try not to leave the slightest trace. ā
Yan Lixing added that the people around him understood what he meant, so they didn't make a sound and did things silently.
He immediately stood up, his eyes flickering in the direction of the black-clothed catcher who was about to get out.
"What is the fame of that calligraphy and painting, many people are determined to get it......"
Yan Lixing stood there for a while and guessed, but the people around him didn't dare to disturb him, so he quickly cleaned up the neighborhood and left silently.
At this moment, a voice interrupted his thoughts.
is the master who follows Ding Caichang.
"My lord, it's not good! Ding Zhixian is missing, and he can't be found anywhere. ā
Yan Lixing came back to his senses and frowned, a little unhappy that this master interrupted his thoughts.
"Ding Zhixian is missing, you didn't talk nonsense? I just appeared with him, this joke is not easy to make. ā
Master Sun shook his head vigorously and said.
"Where do you dare to joke with adults, it is. The villain originally wanted to find some things in Ding Zhixian, but after searching all over the yamen, he didn't find him, so he came to report to the adult. ā
Seeing that Master Sun didn't want to lie, Yan Lixing looked a little surprised.
Just now, he also came to the treasury with Ding Caichang, mobilized officers and soldiers to surround this place, and after a little action with Li Kun and Yao Xi, it didn't take long for a big living person to disappear.
"The villain has already instructed the people below to look around, hoping that nothing will happen to Ding Zhixian. ā
Master Sun looked anxious, although Ding Caichang didn't have much talent, he was okay with him. If something happens to Ding Caichang because of this, I'm afraid he, the master, will not have to do it, and it will not be easy to make a living these years.
Half an hour later.
Yan Lixing had already returned to the hall of the yamen, and the fire was bright.
Looking at the clothes that were caught up quickly, his face was a little gloomy.
These clothes, if Yan Lixing is not mistaken, they are definitely the clothes worn by Ding Caichang, and he went to find him in the evening, and he was wearing this clothing with him.
"Where did I find it. ā
Yan Lixing raised his head and asked a few quick questions.
"My lord, we found it in the corner of a wall in the backyard of the yamen. ā
"Backyard Wall Corner ......"
Yan Lixing thought about it, how could Ding Caichang's clothes appear there, and they were the clothes he was wearing at that time.
"There is nothing else to be found. ā
A few catchers shook their heads.
"No, just these few clothes. ā
Odd!
Yan Lixing thought in his mind, from the time he met Ding Caichang today, to the time he turned his face with Li Kun and Yao Xi, during the fight, Ding Caichang's figure seemed to have disappeared, and he didn't notice it at all.
asked some of the catchers who were present at the time, and they all said that when they fought, Ding Zhixian quietly slipped away towards the backyard.
At this point, Yan Lixing seemed to have thought of some possibility.
Ding Caichang may not be the original Ding Caichang, what he saw was disguised and pretended.
Only such a statement can be considered to be explained.
Ding Caichang disappeared, his clothes fell in the corner of the backyard, at this moment it was like the world evaporated without a trace, and then the scene where the pretended black-clothed catcher snatched the calligraphy and painting at that time is extremely likely.
Indeed, the man's disguise was simply terrifying.
And once Ding Caichang is disguised as a person, then the real one, I'm afraid it is already a lot of bad luck, and it is possible to be destroyed by someone.
"Go down first. ā
Yan Lixing sent a few catchers away, raised his hand to support his forehead, and felt a little pain in his brain.
There is no specific clue about the calligraphy and painting being taken away by someone, and Ding Caichang here is making a fuss again, and even the whole person is gone.
The magistrate of a county is missing, and the matter must be reported to the above.
These trivial matters are taken care of by Master Sun, who has been here for so long, and knows the rules better than Yan Lixing.
In the hall, only Yan Lixing was left.
"The clues are all broken, and the brain is very messy. However, the black-clothed men who robbed the treasury that they caught during the day might be able to find something useful from them. ā
Thinking of this, Yan Lixing got up and walked towards the location of the yamen prison.
Night, deep.
The moonlight was extremely light, and it seemed to be obscured by heavy clouds, revealing only a faint glow.
Dozens of miles outside Hengshui County, in front of an abandoned ruined temple, a pitch-black figure stopped and walked inside.
After a while, some fires lit inside, reflecting the chaotic and deserted environment, and there was a shadow that seemed to be there, which was quite strange and eerie.
The pitch-black figure, dressed in a black trapping suit, sat on a stone next to the firewood and pulled a scroll from his bosom.
If Yan Lixing was here, he would definitely recognize his identity, it was the person who suddenly killed Li Kun and took away the calligraphy and painting.
In the light of the fire, the man's eyes flickered, and he slowly wanted to open the scroll to see what was inside.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew into the ruined temple without warning, extinguishing all the burning firewood.
The man who was about to open the scroll instantly stuffed it into his arms, got up and stared at the location of the broken temple door.
A faint and light footstep slowly approached here.
