Volume 3 The Chronicle of Grievances Chapter 10 The Lost Letters
Su Zhuo's eyebrows furrowed, he couldn't imagine that such an urgent letter would disappear. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 But when he thought about it, he suddenly felt suspicious, how could an ordinary thief steal a letter? So Su Zhuo asked again: "Could you be mistaken? Did the letter go somewhere?"
Wang Zhongping said strangely: "My father always kept the letters in the future, classified them, and bound them. That letter was the last one my father had ever received, and it was in the latest pile. I haven't seen the letter since the thief came. Why, is that letter important?"
Su Zhuo couldn't think of any clues for a while, so he asked, "In addition to this letter and some antiques, what else have you lost?"
Wang Zhongping replied: "At that time, the study was very messy, and there was nothing missing. But the valuable things have not been lost, and the lost antiques are just some copper coin seals, and even the calligraphy and paintings of the famous artists of the previous dynasty are still there, so I guess I didn't lose anything. ”
Su Zhuo pondered for a moment, and muttered a few words in Wang Zhongping's ear. After hearing this, Wang Zhongping looked stunned, but he didn't ask much, got up and went out, stepped on a fast horse, and walked away.
His sudden departure left many people scratching their heads. Su Zhuo smiled: "Don't be surprised, friends from the rivers and lakes, it is the younger brother who begged the second son of the Wang family to do some things, and he will return soon." It's not early today, why don't you all have some wine and dinner here, rest for a night, maybe the little brother will be able to give you an explanation tomorrow!"
Everyone said that it was good, and the shopkeeper was busy preparing meals and accommodation for everyone, and they were very busy. Su Zhuo turned his head and saw that Hua Ping had finished asking, so he strode towards him. The two had a tacit understanding, and when they returned to the room, they compared each other, and sure enough, the four night vigil disciples said about the same thing, and they did not deliberately hide and lie.
Hua Ping said strangely: "This is strange, according to what they said, is it possible for everyone in the inn to kill someone." So who's the murderer?"
Su Zhuo sighed and said, "All possibilities have been ruled out, and the rest is the truth." Saying that, he suddenly thought of something, and whispered to Hua Ping: "You will go and have a drink with Xiao Peng later, and by the way, ask where the letter that Wang Baishan provoked everywhere is now." If I'm not mistaken, he must have accidentally lost this letter!"
Hua Ping saw Su Clumsy's unfathomable smile, and knew that he must have thought of where the joints were, so he didn't bother to ask, and went out with a promise.
The lobby was noisy and noisy, and they had already drunk alcohol. Su Zhuo sat alone in the house, but he was not in the mood to eat. It's not as simple as it seems, and what's even harder is that it's been so long since all the traces of evidence have been hidden. Even if Su Zhuo deduced the truth, there was not enough evidence to prove it. Moreover, the testimony of several people involved is tightly knit and does not have too many flaws. This shows that after such a long time, even if someone has a ghost in their heart, they have already thought it out and made the story mellow and flawless.
Su Zhuo sat on the chair and sighed deeply. Now he only hopes that Wang Zhongping can bring him a little clue, otherwise how to explain to everyone tomorrow, he is really hard to say. Thinking of Wang Zhongping, Su Zhuo couldn't help but smile. He was actually about the same age as himself, but he was still a little immature, even a little weak, far from being as old as his brother to the city. Just like this time, the family feud and personal **** were in front of him, and Wang Zhongping seemed to be lost, and it was difficult to choose.
Thinking about it, Wang Zhongping has lived in such a martial arts family since he was a child, and he has his father and brother in the shade, he has never experienced wind and waves, so he naturally has such a character. However, perhaps it was Wang Zhongping's innocence that made Su Zhuo choose to believe him.
Su Zhuo was so cranky, he didn't realize that time flew by. The noise in the lobby has subsided. Hua Ping suddenly pushed the door into the house, still holding a plate of chimney meat and a pot of good wine in his hand. Su Zhuo said strangely: "You're back so soon?"
Hua Ping was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Your head won't be confused, right? It's almost time now, is it possible that everyone has to stay up all night?"
Su Zhuo got up, moved his somewhat stiff limbs, and asked, "All the heroes they invited have already settled down?"
Hua Ping put down the wine and food and said, "It's your turn to worry about this?" The Yun and Wang families have already arranged in an orderly manner, and they don't dare to slack off at all. I saw that you didn't go out all night, and I brought you some food and drinks, so eat them while they're hot!"
Su Zhuo was not in the mood to eat and drink, but said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to really care about me!
Hua Ping snorted and replied: "Don't you still believe me in my business?" Sure enough, as you expected, Xiao Peng said that Yun Shen was a little annoyed after reading the letter that day, and almost tore the letter up. Later, they were too busy preparing for their trip to take the letter to heart. I didn't think that when I tried to look for it later, I couldn't find it anymore. ”
Su Zhuo smiled contemptuously, and Hua Ping said strangely: "It stands to reason that this letter has a lot to do with this matter, why is it such a coincidence that both letters were lost?"
Su Zhuo said: "Things in this world are interesting precisely because of coincidence. Hua Ping, you can sleep for a while, maybe you will be busy tonight. ”
Hua Ping didn't say much, cleaned up a little, and fell asleep in bed. Su Zhuo blew out the candle and sat alone in the dark, his eyes closed, but there was no rest in his mind.
More leaks came, and it was already a friend of the ugly. There was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the street, and Su Zhuo's eyes opened suddenly, and he got up to light the candle. A moment later, Wang Zhongping pushed the door and entered the house, dusty and sweaty.
Su Zhuo invited him to sit down, poured tea, and asked, "Are you okay on the road?"
Wang Zhongping took a sip of water, nodded, and said, "Well, I didn't stay for a moment, I rushed back after taking the things, I hope I didn't miss Brother Su's business." ”
Hua Ping was also woken up by the movement of the two, got up and said, "Su Zhuo, what did you ask Brother Wang to take overnight?"
Wang Zhongping took off a burden from his back, opened it and saw that it was full of letters, simply bundled into several stacks. Hua Ping sighed: "Good girl, so many letters! I'm afraid there are hundreds, right?"
Wang Zhongping replied: "Almost, these letters have been messed up, and we haven't bothered to sort them out. Brother Su can take a look?"
Su Zhuo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, there are still some drinks and food here, fill your stomach!"
Wang Zhongping was already hungry, and he didn't care about the cold food and wine, so he picked it up and ate it. Su Zhuo picked up the first stack, and at a glance saw the top one, which was sent by Yun Shen to Wang Baishan. Su Zhuo was slightly strange and said, "When was this letter sent?"
Wang Zhongping glanced up and said, "I remember this letter, it is the most recent one, it should have been sent by Layue the year before last." It was the one before Uncle Yun's challenge letter. ”
Su Zhuo nodded, thoughtfully, gently opened the envelope and took out the stationery. He read it carefully, and at first he didn't know why, but when he read it a second time, he suddenly realized, and whispered to himself: "Could it be ......?"
Hua Ping flipped through several large stacks of letters and said worriedly: "With so many letters, which one should we find?"
Su Zhuo shook his head and said, "We are not looking for any letters, but which ones are missing!"
